With the worst inflation in over 40 years, another recession, and the latest data that shows Americans are seeing their biggest pay cut in 25 years, why are we still sending money to Ukraine?
"That's a good question" said foreign policy expert, Harry Kazianis, "We really don't have the money to send, we're $31 trillion dollars in debt. America, depending on how you do the books, is basically a broke country, so it does stand to reason why we're taking on another military commitment like this."
But we are, thanks to more spending from Joe Biden and the Democrats, who slipped in another $12.3 billion, with last months last minute stopgap government spending bill.
"I think the most important thing of all is" Kazianis told KTRH, "We need to understand what Joe Biden's strategy is? What does victory for Ukraine look like? What is the long term goal? And how does it benefit America"?
The other question that needs to be answered is why Biden continues to give away tax dollars, without receiving approval from Congress?
"A lot of these decisions, have essentially always been rubber stamped by Congress" noted Kazianis, "And I think what there's a lot of fear is, that this is going to end up becoming the ultimate forever war, and how we seem to get ourselves into these military conflicts that cost trillions of dollars, that don't ever seem to make America any safer."
As of now, the estimates are that we have given $65 to $85 billion in aid to Ukraine, while the European nations haven't come close. Lots of questions, and hopefully lots of answers, when Republicans take back the House next year.
That leads us to the poll question today.
