Why 40 billion dollars? Is it truly all going to help the Ukraine fight Russia? Why is the American taxpayer taking it up the ass again? This spending looks more like preparing for war with Russia.

Replenishment of US stocks – $9.05 billion to replenish US stocks of equipment sent to Ukraine through drawdown authority.

European Command Operations – $3.9 billion for mission support, intelligence support, hardship pay for troops deployed to the region, and equipment including a Patriot battery. The bill also increases the cap on assistance that can be provided to friendly foreign nations from $450 million to $950 million.

Defense Production Act – $600 million to mitigate industrial base constraints for faster missile production and expanded domestic capacity of strategic and critical minerals.

Administration for Children and Families – $900 million to provide refugee support services, such as housing, English language classes, trauma and support services, community support (including school impact grants), and case management, for arrivals and refugees from Ukraine.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – $54 million to provide medical support, screening, and related public health activities for arrivals and refugees from Ukraine.

$4 billion for the Foreign Military Financing Program to provide additional support for Ukraine and countries affected by the situation in Ukraine, including NATO Eastern flank countries and other partners in the region, to build and update their capabilities.

$8.766 billion for the Economic Support Fund to respond to emergent needs in Ukraine, provide needed budget support to assist with Ukraine’s continuity of government, and counter human trafficking. Includes $760 million to prevent and respond to global food insecurity.

$4.35 billion for International Disaster Assistance to provide emergency food assistance to people around the world suffering from hunger as a result of the conflict in Ukraine and other urgent humanitarian needs of populations and communities inside Ukraine.

Increased Authorities – The legislation includes $11 billion in authority to draw down defense articles and services and increased flexibility to provide excess equipment and direct procurement to Ukraine and other regional allies

    Imagine our country where we produce everting we need and export the rest. We have skilled people to work, design and engineer. AI and automation will be here soon and we need to be in front of that by transitioning our workforce.

    Debit is control - Our mortgages are bullshit, the banks simply create cash to lend, they only hold a faction of the money they lend out. When they do that, they produce more currency supply and causes the value of our money to deplete. So they crate money out of thin air and charge you a premium to use it for thirty years. I place the banks in the same category as the government. Few pay off their debts, I’m too old but I wish I knew what I know today then.

    Taxation is control - Stop supporting them through taxation, why would you pay your oppressors? We know the money collected through the government is just a method of control because they spend money that they don’t have, regardless of the tax revenue.

    I think the important question we should be asking ourselves is when we decide to stop supporting a tyrannical government and how do we do that, short of violence? More specifically, if after the 2022 mid term election and we witness obvious voting fraud, what should our actions be?

    Stop complying, anything and everything.

    So. Trump finally gets Europe to start covering its own NATO ass and Xiden using Ukraine as an excuse starts footing the bill again and letting them off the hook. Chalk up more Xiden breakage of what Trump fixed.
