I'm all for helping Ukraine fight off Russian aggression 40 billion? How is it we always have money to send abroad but when it comes to America oh the government is broke we have huge deficits ridicules!
Why pay taxes if the government can just print unlimited amounts of money? We've done our part let Europe foot the rest of the bill it concerns them more than us.
We don't even have enough baby formula to supply mothers we are looking like a third world country.
And you have to wonder how much of that 40 billion will actually get to the Ukraine, and how much of it is earmarked for other items Congress doesn't want the American people to know about.
"...The package includes $6 billion for security assistance, including training, equipment, weapons and support; $8.7 billion to replenish stocks of U.S. equipment sent to Ukraine, and $3.9 billion for European Command operations.
In addition, the legislation authorizes a further $11 billion in Presidential Drawdown Authority, which allows the president to authorize the transfer of articles and services from U.S. stocks without congressional approval in response to an emergency. Biden had asked for $5 billion.
It also authorizes $4 billion in Foreign Military Financing to provide support for Ukraine and other countries affected by the crisis.
The United States has rushed more than $3.5 billion worth of armaments to Ukraine since Russia invaded, including howitzers, anti-aircraft Stinger systems, anti-tank Javelin missiles, ammunition and recently-disclosed "Ghost" drones. read more
The new aid package also includes humanitarian assistance - $5 billion to address food insecurity globally due to the conflict and nearly $9 billion for an economic support fund for Ukraine...."
I'm sure there is a kickback for the Big Guy in there somewhere too.

I told you we had money, and how easy the Congress comes together when they want to. Mostly for war.
