Why are the decisions of Congress so bad? It's because of the printing press. I was talking to one of my Democrat colleagues and I told him that we have to decide if we want to help the poor in our country or Ukraine. He responded by saying that we shouldn't have to make a choice. But we do have to make a choice. The reason we are $36 trillion in debt is because you think we can do it all. Which comes first, Ukraine or America? We can't do both because we don't have the money. The taxes that come in only cover Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and food stamps. Everything else is borrowed. Maybe able-bodied people need to go back to work. Maybe there needs to be a work requirement and food stamps shouldn't buy junk food.

This is a disgusting situation where Americans are funding the slaughter in Ukraine. Some officials want to send family members to fight there, even though Ukraine isn't in NATO. Putin hasn't threatened Europe.

The speaker proposes an amendment to stop funding Ukraine, claiming that the US has taken over the country and is fighting a proxy war without public approval. They argue that the US is providing extensive financial assistance, military equipment, and weapons to Ukraine, totaling $113 billion in 2022 alone. The speaker criticizes the state and foreign operations bill for granting Ukraine a blank check, allowing the State Department to bypass oversight. They express concern that this funding will perpetuate endless war and bring the conflict to American soil. The speaker cites polling data showing that a majority of Americans oppose further funding for Ukraine and believe the US has already done enough. They argue that taxpayer dollars should be used to secure the US southern border and combat issues like human trafficking. The speaker urges the adoption of their amendment.

We fund one third of Ukraine's government, which includes salaries for teachers, janitors, and everyone else, not just the military. Meanwhile, people in our country are struggling to afford basic necessities like food and medicine. We need to focus on our own problems instead of paying for their government. Our priority should be to stop the killing and provide American leadership, rather than giving more money without any conditions.

We have an abundance of money for funding war machinery and foreign aid, like $8 billion to Ukraine. We also support Ukrainian businesses and banks with taxpayer funds. Humanitarian aid often ends up in corrupt hands due to lack of oversight.

I want to address the figures being circulated about the financial aid Ukraine has received from the U.S. I often hear numbers like $177 billion, or even $200 billion, being cited. As the President of a nation at war, I can tell you that we've received just over $75 billion. The difference is significant. This aid isn't given as cash, but primarily as weaponry. The $75 billion covers the cost of arms, training, transportation, humanitarian programs and social support. Claims that Ukraine has received $200 billion in military aid are simply untrue, and I don't know where that money is supposedly going.

The ongoing war in Ukraine has cost American taxpayers $1 trillion, with little to show for it. Despite receiving $60 billion earlier this year, Ukraine is struggling and facing significant losses. Questions about the U.S. strategy in Ukraine remain unanswered, and NATO's expansion, contrary to past agreements, has contributed to tensions with Russia. The Biden administration's approach has been criticized for lack of planning and leadership, leading to increased aggression from adversaries like China and Iran. The situation is dire, with fears of escalating conflict and potential nuclear war. It's crucial for the U.S. to negotiate a peace agreement to prevent further disaster and refocus on protecting American interests rather than engaging in a proxy war without a clear plan.

Since Biden took office, the U.S. has spent $100 billion in an undeclared war against Russia, primarily funding Ukraine with $75 billion. Despite claims of Ukrainian victories, many believe Ukraine cannot win against Russia's superior resources. Most Americans oppose further funding, yet Congress continues to push for more aid. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson plans to prioritize a $60 billion aid package for Ukraine, despite a lack of support from Republican voters. Critics argue that this funding diverts attention from pressing domestic issues, like illegal immigration and national debt. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene emphasizes the disconnect between lawmakers and their constituents, urging Americans to hold their government accountable and prioritize domestic needs over foreign wars.

"it's not antisemitic to talk about this, and it's not antisemitic to question any foreign country's government secular government, including Israel." "We fund a lot of other countries' borders better than we fund our own." "it's over $800,000,000,000,000, actually, close to 900,000,000,000,000 is the total bill." "the 500,000,000 for Israel." "They already received $3,400,000,000 annually every single year through the State Department." "Taiwan for 500,000,000 and for Jordan for 500,000,000 as well." "There's 15,000,000 in there for AIDS prevention education activities." "America's broke. We're $37,000,000,000,000 in debt." "we just can't pay for the world anymore." "Not being an isolationist. That's actually being smart and serving the people that that pay for all of this stuff and have been chained into 37,000,000,000,000 in debt." "And that's not being mean to foreign people and foreign countries, but America's broke."

American journalist Gonzalo Mira has reportedly approved $113 billion for Ukraine, yet he hasn't tried to secure the release of an imprisoned American journalist there. Moreover, Ukraine has canceled elections, raising questions about its democracy. President Zelensky claims it would be inconvenient and costly to hold elections during the ongoing war. However, supporting a non-democratic country without elections seems contradictory. Political parties have been banned, churches invaded, and priests arrested, revealing a corrupt regime. While the Russians are worse, it's not necessary to take sides. The main concern is the financial aspect, as borrowing more money leads to inflation, recession, and unsustainable practices.

Borrowing more money to send to Ukraine is irresponsible and weakens us. Congress doesn't care about the debt because it's not their money. Milton Friedman's statement holds true: nobody spends someone else's money as wisely as their own. The big spenders in Congress won't use their own money. Americans should take notice and blame these wasteful spenders.

Ukraine cannot win its war against Russia, even with extensive Western support. The situation is dire, with a significant loss of life among Ukrainians. Recently, the U.S. Senate proposed sending an additional $60 billion to Ukraine, despite its corrupt government and ongoing issues. There's a chance to stop this legislation in the Senate, but if it passes, the House could potentially improve or reject it. This funding not only supports Ukraine for 2024 but also ties future presidents' hands, limiting their diplomatic options. Many senators seem to believe prolonging the war serves Ukraine's interests, ignoring the reality that it leads to further destruction and suffering. Ultimately, the motivations appear to align more with military contractors than the well-being of Ukrainians.

I've asked Congress to investigate where the money sent to Ukraine has gone. The American people deserve to know, as it's our taxpayer money. There's reason to be concerned because Ukraine has been known for corruption and money laundering. It's not just a billion dollars; it's a hundred times that amount sent to one country. Zelenskyy claimed Russia fired a rocket into Poland, which would be an act of war, but it turned out the rocket came from Ukraine. If Zelenskyy is going to beg the world for more money and demand more from the US, he needs to be more careful about making global statements that could bring us to the brink of war. We can't have full faith and trust by giving a leader a hundred billion dollars when he says, "I'm not telling you where the money went."

We're being pimped by Zelensky and the US government. Our hard-earned money is being sent to Ukraine, and when Zelensky gets it, he says it's not enough. We can't even afford basic necessities here, yet we're sending billions to Ukraine. Zelensky is having steak dinners with celebrities while our veterans sleep on the streets and children go hungry. It's infuriating and makes no sense. If people want Ukraine to have money, they should send their own. We need to take care of our own problems first.

We could have used the $165 billion given to Ukraine to build 6 border walls, fix Flint's water system 215 times, give every homeless vet $2 million, and help families impacted by wildfires. HUD says $20 billion could end homelessness in America, but we sent much more. Priorities need to change.

We gave Ukraine $165 billion, enough to build 6 border walls, give every homeless vet $2 million, and help families affected by wildfires. Instead, they received only $700 each. HUD says $20 billion could end homelessness in America, but we spent $165 billion. This could have ended homelessness 8 times over. Our priorities need to change.

America is going bankrupt quickly, but nobody seems to notice. The Defense Department budget is a trillion dollars a year. Interest payments on the national debt have exceeded the Defense Department budget and are over a trillion dollars a year and rising. The U.S. is adding a trillion dollars to the debt every three months, soon to be every two months, then every month. Eventually, the only thing the U.S. will be able to pay is interest. This situation is like a person with too much credit card debt and does not have a good ending. Spending must be reduced.

This war never should have happened. Russia tried to settle with terms beneficial to Ukraine and us, mainly keeping NATO out. Military contractors want new NATO countries because it forces them to buy weapons from specific companies like Northrop Grumman and Lockheed, creating a trapped market. We've committed billions to Ukraine, money that could have housed every homeless person in the US. Mitch McConnell admitted this money largely goes to American defense manufacturers, essentially a money laundering scheme. BlackRock owns these companies. The "loan" to Ukraine will never be repaid. The conditions include extreme austerity and the sale of government-owned assets, including its valuable agricultural land, to multinational corporations like DuPont, Cargill, and Monsanto, which are also owned by BlackRock. BlackRock even got the contract to rebuild Ukraine. They're doing this openly because they keep us divided and fighting each other.

Okay, so sending in offensive equipment like planes and tanks would be World War III. That being said, the US will send 31 Abrams tanks to Ukraine. We have artillery, but honestly, it's not enough. We're basically out of money, so I'm sending Congress a supplemental budget request, so the Ukrainian people will be able to receive pensions and social support. This is the largest assistance package from the US to Ukraine yet: $3 billion in direct aid. The US will also send over a billion dollars in new aid, plus another $150 million in military assistance. The US locked down an additional $2 billion in military aid, and the total now stands close to $130 billion.

Ukraine cannot win its war against Russia, even with extensive Western support. The ongoing conflict is leading to significant loss of life and economic degradation. Recently, the U.S. Senate proposed sending another $60 billion to Ukraine, despite its corrupt government and ongoing issues. There is a critical procedural vote that could potentially kill this legislation, and efforts are being made to sway Republican senators against it. This funding not only supports Ukraine in 2024 but also ties future presidential decisions, limiting diplomatic options. Many senators seem to believe prolonging the war serves Ukraine's interests, but this perspective overlooks the devastating impact on the Ukrainian population and distracts from pressing domestic issues.

Putin knew that Ukraine was stealing money we sent them when Biden was in office. Trump will stop that, and the fighting will stop. I stand by my statement that Trump will stop us from throwing money down the drain in a war we have nothing to do with. Their own president said they don't know where half the money went. You're paying off the war machine to prolong this war, and men are dying because of it. That's wrong and Trump will stop it. At the beginning of the war, we were on both sides with gas contracts with Russia and giving money to Ukraine. Putin is responsible for the war. But why isn't there outrage about China's mistreatment of people? Because everything is made in China, and it's all about the dollars.

The United States has been sending hundreds of billions of dollars to support Ukraine's defense, with no end in sight, and with no security. Do you want to keep this going for another five years? Two thousand people, or more, are being killed every single week.

We spent $8 trillion on the war in Iraq and got nothing in return. We killed more Iraqis than Saddam Hussein, created ISIS, and caused millions of refugees. Then we spent $16 trillion on the pandemic with no results. Now we're doing bank bailouts regularly. The government cut Medicare for 15 million Americans while sending extra money to Ukraine. A friend had his food stamps cut by 90%, leaving him with only $25 a month. 30 million Americans are starving, which is unacceptable. We're failing to take care of those who played by the rules and promised to be taken care of in old age.

Putin was dealing with Biden, and he knew Ukraine was stealing money we sent. Under Trump, that stops, ending the fighting and our wasted money in a war we shouldn't be in. Ukraine's president admitted not knowing where half the money went, which has been widely reported. The money sent to Ukraine is paying off "war pimps" at the Pentagon, prolonging the war for profit while young men die. We were on both sides at the start of the war with gas contracts with Russia and giving money to Ukraine. Missile defense systems went to Ukraine and members of Congress had stock in the missile defense company. Putin is responsible, but why isn't there outrage about China? Because everything is made there and it's all about the dollars.

Since Joe Biden became president, the US government has spent billions of dollars on an undeclared war against Russia without explaining its purpose or benefits. The war has resulted in Ukraine receiving billions of dollars in aid, but it has not been successful in ending the conflict. Ukraine is unable to defeat Russia, and the rest of the world is aware of this. However, US media continues to falsely claim that Ukraine is winning. Republican leaders like Mitch McConnell are pushing for more funding to Ukraine, despite opposition from the majority of American voters. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene criticizes the funding, highlighting the country's own issues and the lack of support from the American people.
