There’s always billions for war, but whenever it comes to helping Americans, the response is always “how are you gonna pay for it?”

“They got money for war but can’t feed the poor” - Tupac

[Lesliew]

I’m all for helping other people when they need it and obviously the Ukraine needs it, but when we can’t afford to take care of our own people we have no business giving our taxpayer money to somebody else especially if the roles were reversed they would not be doing it for us.

[DanTheMan-lpfk]

As Tupac once said, "they got money for wars but cant feed the poor" still stands up today.

$33 billion dollars is equal to about $100 for every resident living in the United States. Giving this much aid to Ukraine basically means you are taking away $500 from a family of five. This is a lot of money and quite frankly, during this time of high inflation and increase in prices, we should not be giving out handouts to other countries. We need to put the US first!

It’s weird he campaigned on student debt forgiveness but it has yet to happen. Then recently said he’s considering it for $50, 000 and less. But has no problem sending money to another country without hesitation. Smh. All Politicians are a joke.

WTF 🤬 Really?!?
We can’t even get relief here in the United States but yet we can send money to everybody else! 🤦

[Kobepwns]

To the American taxpayer that money is blood, sweat and tears but to him it’s basically a fun video game. He hasn’t worked a real job in 50 years.

"Ukraine must not fall to Russia! Our worldwide money laundering and kickback operation in Ukraine must continue!"

I'm so sick of America being the world's band-aid we have problems of our own do any countries help us absolutely not we need help right here and we are not getting in fact all we have gotten is a record 40 year inflation these countries need to take care of themselves for once ... So sick of it!!!

[ham]

This man so worried about Ukraine like he got something going on over there

[trustnothing]

WTF is going on??? What about our people here in America???

[CHAOS_E]

This is not our war. We shouldn’t be spending a dime over there

[eddieflxible]

We need to stop giving money to ukraine and start helping our own citizens here in the US.

[richierich]

But we can't give the American people money due to "inflation".

[cranedaddy]

I wish he fought this hard for his own country.

[alexh]

The US is a very beautiful country! It’s the people running it makes it miserable living here !

[khristinafowler]

We don’t have to do this!!! We need to take care of ourselves!!! Milk is over $4 a gallon!!! Milk is more than gas…. What about us working families with small children?! Biden what are you

[undertheknife]

Not gonna say I told you so, but... Whoever voted for this I just hope that you can see more clearly what's going on now.

[immortalideas-fikj]

Jesus Christ, Joey B. Really? Who's going to pay for it? How about sending that money out as gas card to help us (the working people of America) during these difficult times? What's going on in this country? Is this the end of our country? Man, my heart hurts.
