Senate leaders wouldn’t give Donald Trump $10 billion for a border wall. At the time, Chuck Schumer said we couldn’t afford it and McConnell gladly went along with it. Now, however, while we have $30 trillion in debt, senators decided to pass an enormous deficit spending bill that contains between $12 billion and $14 billion in aid for Ukraine.
“Where we have ended up is $14 billion,” Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) told reporters Tuesday.
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.), shortly after McConnell spoke, said there was more than $12 billion in assistance for Ukraine. Asked about the discrepancy, he later said the bill would include a little less than $14 billion and a little more than $12 billion.
What’s a couple of billion to these generous politicians?
Lawmakers are hoping to vote this week on the measure.
McConnell also said he believed any funding to send planes to Poland would be included in the omnibus. Poland said Tuesday that it would make its MiG-29 combat jets available to the U.S. after days of talks about how to get such planes into the hands of Ukraine. In return, Poland wants U.S.-made planes to replace them.
That could well start World War III and put us on a war footing with Russia over a non-NATO nation – one that is not a democracy – but is beholden to the George Soros Great Reset crowd. At the same time, it puts Poland on Russia’s target.
McConnell is a disaster for Republicans. Watch:
Get Mitch McConnell out of office immediately. https://t.co/LHib3kUm1e

The worst part about DC being nuked is that some of us patriots will have to enter the fallout zone for the purpose of welding their bunkers closed so they can never escape. Dear Putin, please drop at least 25-30 nukes in DC.. save us the trouble.
We left $85 billion worth of armaments in Afghanistan. Now we are flooding an unstable region with billions in arms to supply what is considered a “far-right” government. Why is the US arming the world with nefarious factions?
Biden, Pelosi, Romney and Kerry all have sons that sit on energy boards in Ukraine, how much of that $14 billion is going to end up in their pockets, and eventually into McConnells.
Much of thre Congressional leadership on both sides of the aisle should be removed from office for malfeasance and crimes against the Nation. None of our Congresspeople have tried to remove FJB from office despite FJB’s absolute incompetence in all matters. There had better be changes in the midterm electiions or our elected officials will begin to disappear.
In case anybody doesn’t understand how much a trillion dollars is lets break it down to time. Rounding off the decimal places if you divide one trillion by 365 days in a year you get 2,739,626,027. Divide that by 24 hours in a day and you get 114,155,251. Divide that by 60 minutes in an hour and you get 1,902,582 and finally divide that by 60 seconds in a minute and you get 31,710. That means if the government paid back $1 every second to our debtors it would take over 31,000,000 years to pay back just 1 trillion dollars and our government owes over 30 trillion. Now let’s look at that 14 billion the Chuck/Mitch show is spending. Doing the same math with the same rate of repayment it would take 444 years to pay that money back and that doesn’t include the interest. Yes, I know the government estimated 2021 tax revenue is about $3.9 trillion but expenditures exceed revenue by almost 1 trillion dollars added to our debt and I’ll bet 2022 spending will be higher yet. This is crazy the parasites on DC cannot live on $3.9 trillion dollars.
Turkey Neck will do whatever is best for China by any means necessary.
