The bill allocates only $300 million in its record-breaking budget for Ukraine aid.
$50-60billion or around 6% of it is usually part of the military black budget meaning they don’t have to tell you what happened to the money. So the best way to help Ukraine is to do it in secret, without the divisive debate and announcements to the invaders.
That seems like a pretty central part of the full picture, thanks for pointing it out! Here’s the Wikipedia article on the black budget, in case anyone is interested. The number cited there is around seven percent. :)
cool, thx for adding a source! wow getting more expensive by the year
Can’t help but think that the 300 million is going to achieve a lot more for the safety of America and the West than the remaining 886 billion combined.
That’s a bit of an exaggeration. However, I do think bloodying a hostile foreign enemy without having to spend American lives is worth every single cent we send Ukraine, not to mention helping them defend their country is the right, moral thing to do…
Yeah. Fuck the people and their silly healthcares and petty studentloans and slavery and… Lets ramp up the boomboom! That’s benefitting nearly everyone.
Will we (humanity) ever really leave the stoneage? (rethorical question)
As far as I know democrats were pushing healthcare, and forgiving student loans. US has enough money for all of those
They surely do. Could show us all how to be civilized as f… But choose the exact opposite. But hey, freedum!
Healthcare problem is a regulation one. We need to gut the pharma industry by negotiating drug prices and having single payer healthcare.
Most of our budget is health services now anyway.
