$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. :)
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)
I’ve posted this recently, but when your party has both the house and the senate plus the presidency and you don’t do what you said, they are just campaign lies and you never intended on it. The other side being bad too doesn’t make the democrats good, just maybe slightly less aweful.
Both under Obama and Biden the Democrats had the house, senate, and presidency. They promised and then did nothing for abortion, immigration, or any of the other things they “promised.” Do I need to Google proof??? Did you forget the last ten years? Ok, so now the republicans have the house, but for the last two years the democrats had everything. What did we get from that???
Nope, it’s a reading comprehension thing on your part. Democrats had the house, senate, and presidency in both the 111th and 117th Congress.
2009 - 2011 (111th Congress Period- two actual years) Barack Obama- President- Democrat, Nancy Pelosi- Speaker of the House- Democrat, Harry Reid- Senate Majority Leader- Democrat. Biden, Chuck Schumer, and Nancy Pelosi were the 117th Congress which just ended.
The plutocracy have been in control the entire time. Ever wonder why the rich don’t pay taxes? Why congress gets to insider trade with 0 repercussions? It’s a big club and we ain’t in it.
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…
