Good point about Flint. I remember Obama sent some money, but not sure if it was enough to replace all of the contaminated pipes.

I really cannot believe $13.6 billion in aid was approved to give to another country.

I guess somebody stole the money.
Yes. I want to see a "Berlin Airlift" type effort with real items being delivered to the people.

But someone how with a snap of a finger they can come up with 14 billion on the fly.
Rand Paul & Thomas Massie 2024! These are the ONLY 2 true Conservatives left in Washington DC, according to voting records.

There’s no need for any reform. Simply enforce existing immigration laws like we did in the past. Worked great.

If you reform and in a few years another 30 million illegals are here once again do we do another reform?

If you think $14 Billion is bad, wait until the US taxpayer ends up funding hundreds of billions, if not a trillion with a "t" dollars to rebuild Ukraine!
