33 Billion to defend another country but couldn't come up with 5 billion to protect our own borders

[KeiSpeaksLife]

Can we get $33 billion in aide for our vets, disabled citizens, our schools, mental health systems, our seniors, affordable

[timshell]

We need that money here in America. Quit funding foreign wars.

[PeglegNav]

You know, I used to be a big supporter of Biden but this has to be my last F to give. We have children in our country that are starving, Sweden has ads about “helping American children on the streets” yet we can spend 33Billion to another country? I’m not say we shouldn’t help, but maybe we should help our own country before breaking the bank for another. Disgusting

[daddylong]

Wth....WE CANT AFFORD THIS!!!why not put that money into our own social security fund? Or housing for the homeless. This is the money of the people we are talking about.The people should vote on this.Not congress

[davidbenner]

Start laying off Federal Government employees to pay for the $33, 000, 000, 000 given to Ukraine. Or the pension fund from the U. S. House and U. S. Senate.

[bobbygiagkos]

And yet, there’s no money to replenish the RRF, while tax paying citizens are losing their business every day. Help our small businesses first!!

[buzzkincaid]

Sounds like Hunter’s allowance needs a raise

[basedimperialism]

Step 1: Send billions of dollars in military aid to Ukraine.
Step 2: Fighting in civilian areas continues as both nations continue buying and producing more weapons of war.
Step 3: More civilians get caught in the cross-fire and needlessly die.
Step 4: Call the deaths "Russian atrocities" and use them as justification to send more military aid.
Step 5: Repeat from Step 1.

[terrygmabrey]

That money would just be laundered Corruption at its finest

[coltonlynn]

So is this $33 billion dollars worth of equipment going to be given to the Russians similar to what happened in Afghanistan?

[sabrinaann]

President Biden, what about your struggling country that you've forgotten about? I'm all for helping Ukraine but we here in America are struggling with Inflation!!!! Your Priorities are all messed up!

[richmiko]

Would be cool if our gov't used our tax dollars in the USA. 10% for the big guy though for another beach front house.

[vannofication]

I’m Ukrainian now us citizen, 90% of this money will go missing and or to corrupt people like his own relatives or business partners, same thing with equipment.

[chaole]

Let Europe handle this. $33 billion is too much to give to another country.

[prettyyoungthingpyt]

This man is ridiculous!! People can't afford rent and housing is unreachable for most people and this man keeps asking and giving away more money. Money out of the air while we the slaves keep on working to supplement their wars.

[matthewp]

How much will end up in Hunter and Joes pockets?

[patriciacooley]

Ukraine wouldn't be in this position if the United states government and NATO hadn't pushed Ukraine to not negotiate with Russia....

[elroythegreat]

My suggestion would be to ask the Taliban. I hear they have a surplus.

[cindaanderson]

NO MORE MONEY TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES!! KEEP OUR TAX DOLLARS IN THE UNITED STATES FOR OUR LEGAL CITIZENS!!
