The title rather says it all. I am absolutely in favor of supporting Ukraine against the Russian invasion of their country, and have said so from the beginning. But you have to start to wonder at what point should we be spending this money on our own people? When Musk bought Twitter I heard, numerous times, left leaning people talk about how he could "end hunger" with the $44 billion he used to buy Twitter. Why are we not hearing the same thing here? Again, I support Ukraine, and would hate to see them lose to Russia, but our country is a mess right now, rampant inflation and now a shortage of baby formula that could have severe repercussions for developing children. I'll close by commenting that they authorized $7 billion more than Biden even asked for and that both parties share the blame here.
