Might be. But you are saying they put back twice as much as they took?? So...perhaps that's not it

Although these administration actions might have eaten up a chunk too.....

we shouldn't send another penny to Ukraine until the areas impacted by the Helene are completely rebuilt.

Because we can't do two things at once.

Israel too?

 

[bonefish1]

No. Israel is our most important ally in the middle east and is being attacked by terrorists who chant 'death to America". They deserve our support.
Ukraine is not an important ally.

 

[Boiler Buck]

Some think that is a separate issue.

But generally this goes along with my post above of giving money to non American illegals instead of having money for American Citizens.

When you spend big $ on illegals and then hurricane season gets here, and you are crying about money possibly being short.....that's an example of bad government.

 

[BB62]

No. Israel is our most important ally in the middle east and is being attacked by terrorists who chant 'death to America". They deserve our support.
Ukraine is not an important ally.

And Russia is not our enemy. I mean, just say it. They have thousands of warheads aimed at us but they're not our enemy.

We should stand by and do nothing when an authoritarian super power invades a sovereign country, who also happens to be a democracy, albeit a struggling one. Spreading and defending democracy around the world is no longer our concern. Just say it so I know exactly where you stand.

 

[Boiler Buck]

Obama didn't think so.

But yes they are

I'll say it: "I don't really care about Ukraine." There, do you feel better now?
Ukraine is not an ally nor a strategic partner.
As I said previously, it Russia taking over Ukraine means a larger threat to the region, you would think that Germany, France, Poland, Italy, etc would be the one's providing the most assistance, not the US.

If China invades Taiwan, do we go to war with China?

Back to the topic.....this article says this admin has blown more than $1 billion of FEMA money on illegal migrants.

And there it is ....why FEMA might run short. Funding illegals at the expense of Americans in dire need. This should piss off both sides of the aisle.

All Americans should be 'outraged' over Mayorkas' comments on lack of FEMA funds, says Florida AG Moody

[Boiler Buck]

This is $1 billion in FEMA money.

Fox radio reports that this administration so far has spent $66 billion on illegals from a variety of several different budgets within the total scope of the administration's purview.

That's $66 billion of American's tax money going towards illegal aliens, NOT the Americans who paid these funds.

This includes $ for flying illegal migrants into this country and flying them all over America.

Imagine Democrat budgets are overspent.

The problem is with all these "NEW" needs illegal immigrants create, well should we more accurately say, that Biden/Harris created, each costing billion$. These NEW expenses put a tremendous burden on Govt being able to do it's normal obligations in the future that Americans expect......like....
💰 SS
💰 Medicare
💰 Emergency Response
💰 Defense
💰 Inspection safety
💰 Road System Repairs/Const.
💰 Medical safety
Etc.

Every citizen in both parties who wants a SS check or any of the other items above in the future....should be enraged by this administration and their callous, irresponsible border policy creating all these expenses when we are already way overspent. None of us would handle our personal expenses like that, and we should be exaherbated with Govt for being so uncaring toward the taxpayer.

Can't believe any person who wants a future SS check will vote for this border madness of Harris to continue.

They heard Ukraine had a hurricane so sent a $100 billion over.

Because this is the first admin........and the first congress, who actually spend the money, to show us they don't know how to set a budget and stick to it. C'mon.

What you are saying .... True.
What I am saying .....True.

The difference between the two.....these are NEW expenses, Solely BECAUSE OF THIS ADMIN, ON TOP OF.....the overblown budgets you are referring to.

Surely you arent for this are you???

(Even if you like Harris....one can call her out for crap this is. I do it all the time with Trump. Honesty....try it. Better than dishonest partisanship.)

If you want a SS check in the future or Medicare that you are entitled to because you paid into it......you better wake up.

Look at all the pictures and video of the North Carolina. Hear the people pleading for help, crying their eyes out because they have nothing. People without food, water and baby food crying out for help......

And tell me it's OK that this administration raided FEMA for money for illegals, and now they are short.

This is NOT OK. No matter your party you should be outraged.

You selectively call out trump when he says stupid stuff and rarely on policy. Mostly you defend him like your religion. You're just looking for cover if he's elected.

We've spent billions on immigrants every year for a long time and this admin has screwed up border policy but good. But stop acting like it's going to cause SS or Medicare to go bankrupt. We can screw that up without spending more on immigration. How about both parties, especially the right who says they care about it when its time for a budget or foreign aid but otherwise ignore it, do something about the approximately 900 billion we're spending on interest in the debt this year.

Oh just stop it. You're almost as bad as trump.

Money spent before the hurricane is now depriving these people of resources after the hurricane. Once again you're using the victims' tragedy to score political points. Your extreme partisanship knows no bounds.

Saw 10 Chinooks headed west over my house in the first hour home from work. Copters going west regularly. The relief effort is not hampered by the money already spent.

Yeah, they're all risking their lives and paying big money to come here and sit on their asses. You know nothing about these people or why they come. They're all murderers and rapists and pedophiles and drug traffickers anyway right?

Anyone that is for giving taxpayer money to illegals with all the needs we have NOT met for Americans who actually paid these taxes is not a serious person.

This NC crisis just shows the above decision of giving FEMA taxpayer $ to illegals--in pictures and video. If you are for any level of misery caused, because $ is running out(per Myorkis) then guess that speaks volumes about your character.

Well a very large portion of them are indeed trash human beings who are here to create chaos. Human trafficking, sex trafficking, drug trafficking, gun trafficking... That's all you get with a weak border(North and South). ALL illegal immigrants are here to take advantage of the system. Plain and simple.

Saying a LARGE portion of these illegals are TRASH human beings, here to create chaos is an interesting statement.

While there are some criminal elements documented, do you have evidence to say this is a large %??

Even if ~2 Mill (some documented below) are a security threat or criminal......that still is a relatively small % to the ~ 12+Mill or so that have came both counted & uncounted gotaways. Yes, this is crazy irresponsible & intolerant that Harris let these in. But talking %, about 17%

A freaking LARGE # -- yes
A LARGE % or portion -- no

While Bob's take is disturbing, I believe yours is also. Is there a middle ground??

Perhaps the TRASH human beings are first and foremost the DEM politicians, including the despicable, vile dangerously irresponsible Harris, who want to give our hard earned tax $ to illegal noncitizens who payed in nothing to the system??....while at the same time making our country and neighborhoods DANGEROUS.

Do you go to people you know who work working class jobs and walk them through your thought process? People who probably think you’re a swell guy?

Go ahead and set out what terrible policies Trump had.

Renewing FISA and the patriot act

Though I’m betting that a well to do professional class so called liberal doesn’t think that’s bad lol

Raising the military budget 80 billion annually.

Again, I bet that guy doesn’t think that’s bad. Democratic senators were happy to join both efforts

You don’t think our terrible foreign policy has something to do with it? When we bomb countries like Syria to rubble and won’t stop meddling in Venezuela on behalf of multi nationals, where do you think those people go?

I told my anti Trump mother that she should notice that they’ll never ask “gentlemen, why are people here from Venezuela?”

By the way it was Obama who took us from bombing in two countries to 7. Trump did not increase that number.

Would you rather spend 80 billion to enable strength by deterrence or give Ukraine 173 billion?

Deference? Lol.

Who were we deterring in Iraq? It was a lie. People try to memory hole it but it was. Are you one of those people who defends the war on terror?

And if you lie once you’re a liar. Why were we bombing in Yemen? Why do we have 1000 military bases world wide? This is a massive transfer of wealth from the American people. Eisenhower discussed this. And if most Americans knew a lot it they’d be outraged.

I don’t want to give Ukraine or anyone else a dime. I want to invest our money here.

I’m as far left as they come. The real left. Eugene v debs, Jimmy dore, Henry Wallace. But on one side you have a guy who wants to end these wars and bring that money back home. On the other side you have a party that’s tried to put a smiley face on making sure people in Ukraine have pensions. No thank you. To Ukraine or anywhere else

I'd agree with FISA and the Patriot Act. I wouldn't call the military budget spending bad though. Not necessarily good either. Military is a necessary evil and there were concerns that prior administrations had been neutering it.
