How is it possible to so quickly come up with hundreds of millions of dollars for other countries but we get nothing here at home? Our politicians hate our guts.

How can we afford this? I want to help them, but I'd like to send weaponry that will defeat the entire Russian military inside of Ukraine. I don't want us to be financing perpetual skirmishes. I'm no weapons expert, but surely there's some weapons that are bigger than hand held that we can get to them.

How about using that money for our border and American's that need help. I feel bad for Ukraine, but we can't keep printing money off that we don't have. We need money for our Military!!

US may fund $7B to Ukraine.
That's the free cash confiscated from Afghanistan.

Have the Federal Reserve Bank make as much new money as you now provide Ukraine and Israel. With it, institute a superior security assistance program to the American people in the form of Single Payer (or Medicare for All) which would be like Medicare except it would be from birth to death, you know, like most civilized nations have. Also offer the Green new Deal and a robust, comprehensive infrastructure plan now during this health, climate, and transportation emergencies.
