A breakdown of how much of Joe Biden's $100billion aid package is heading to back Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan amid worldwide strife
2023-10-21
Yes, but what else is crammed into this latest Must Pass spending bill at a time when the national debt is triggering warnings by the IMF, among others?
And how much of it goes to his family?
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Plans for President Joe Biden's funding request will see $60billion given to Ukraine and $14billion for Israel, according to a source familiar with the plan

  • Another $10billion has been earmarked for humanitarian aid and $7billion for the Indo-Pacific region, including to bolster Taiwan

  • Biden, 80, addressed the American people on Thursday night from the Oval Office and urged lawmakers to pass the spending package

#8  The end of every empire is marked by looting the treasury and the delusion that things are as they were!

#7  Can we have some tickets for our aid dollars? I would like to cash mine in for a backscratcher or super large comb.

#6  -taps on Helm of Aluminum-

Other than some video game tokens, you think any of that money is really going to Ukraine? No, upgrading the MPs' wives' tits is not 'To Ukraine'.

WE ARE BROKE

With a $33.65T National Debt and only $4.34T in approx annual revenues. The DC Swamp has already overspent 7+ years of US collectable revenues. The national debt figure, at current spending levels, is predicted to be $45.08T by 2027.

Instead of the DC Swamp sending $$$Billions around the world, which a % always seems to end up back in certain Elite, Political and company owners pockets. How about focusing on the CITIZENS OF THE USA, until at least the National Debt is eliminated.

BTW: US Federal Collected Revenues are DOWN -9% (-$457T) when compared to fiscal year 2021-2022.

My apologies to the late Senator Everitt McKinley Dirksen.

#2  I got an idea, how about spending that money on Americans?

with a bit for Israel and Taowan of course.

Not so sure of Ukraine, seems it's a lost cause.

#1  Hamas to Biden "We have 200 hostages! Give us 100 million!"
Biden to Congress "I have 10 million Israeli hostages! Gimme 60 billion for Ukraine!"?
