They want to send even more money to Ukraine now after billions has already been sent. Mind you, they don't have any of this money to send because they cannot balance a budget and have run up a multi-trillion deficit over the years. By sending billions more it only further worsens the economic situation by giving away what they cannot afford.

The U.S. government has proven over decades that one thing they are better at than most is spending money on military endeavors around the world.

Billions of dollars has already been pledged to be sent to Ukraine because of the conflict and this is being done without a vote and asking the people who paid that money if they want that money to be sent to that cause.

Many will, but what about those who don't? People around the world have already given millions of dollars voluntarily, sent food, clothing and goods, and taken refugees into their homes.

There is nothing more infuriating than struggling to pay your own bills and keep a roof over your head, choosing between what food items to buy because the prices are too high and you see "representatives" voting to send money they take from you to a cause that you might not agree with. Or to help a problem that they themselves might have acted to worsen or perpetuate as we've seen with their wars over the years.

Will there be transparency in the spending?

The funding that is being given away could go toward creating hundreds of hospitals, schools, and upgrading infrastructure around thousands of communities.

Neither side ever puts up much of a complaint on the money spending that goes to war or the conflict itself. This then could lead you to assume that perhaps both sides are pro war and if that be the case then this reality is devastating for the future prospect of peace and the well-being of millions economically and otherwise.

Will this be another 20+ year endeavor that is going to bankrupt the U.S. further like the war on terror has already done so effectively?
