So it appears we're adding another $100+ billion to the national debt:
Oh. $13.6 billion for Ukraine, a thoroughly corrupt and war-torn country... I'm sure that money will be well spent, and not at wasted like the billions we threw into two other thoroughly corrupt, war-torn countries I spent a lot of time in over the last 20 years.
...and before anyone goes all "Blame the Dems," go back and read the part I deliberately bolded. This is the kind of stuff our ruling class does.
Why are we spending more on defense, when we're ostensibly doing a lot fewer defense-y things? And we're spending more on "nondefense" programs... is this more handing out crack pipes? Can I at least get the potholes in my street fixed?The package, introduced just after midnight, extends funding through the end of the fiscal year. Negotiated by leaders from both parties, it was designed to win support from both sides of the aisle, including a $42 billion increase in defense spending, favored by Republicans, and a $46 billion bump in nondefense programs, largely championed by Democrats.
It also includes $13.6 billion to help Ukraine defend against Russia’s invasion, divided between military spending and humanitarian aid.
