Wars Must Go On: House OKs $95 Billion Bill to Fund Foreign Wars

No funds were allocated to address the US border crisis

On Saturday, April 20th, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to allocate $95 billion to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, as follows:

• Ukraine - $61 billion

• Israel – $26 billion

• Taiwan – $8 billion

You cannot make this up. The uni-party cheerfully celebrated its decision to continue providing billions of dollars in American taxpayer funds to fund wars abroad, instead of supporting U.S. citizens, by happily waiving a flag of a foreign country:

The same week the government collected taxes, it voted to send the money overseas.

Several days prior to the vote, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (by the way, whose views I typically do not share) made an excellent point, stating: “The American people do not want an economy built on people’s blood and dead bodies in foreign countries”:

Since February 2022, Ukraine has received over $200 billion in aid. According to Council on Foreign Affairs, Israel has been the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign aid since its founding, receiving about $300 billion (adjusted for inflation) in total economic and military assistance.

House Speaker Mike Johnson explained the vote, although he must have forgotten to mention why the absence of U.S. border security is not a concern:

Besides financial aid, the House voted to provide Ukraine with long-range ATACMS missiles to enable it to strike deeper into the Russian territory.

Additionally, the U.S. House of Representatives adopted a bill to confiscate Russian assets in favor of Ukraine. The U.S. Senate will vote on Tuesday.

For purposes of this article, I will focus on the largest potion of the bill -funding of the war in Ukraine. Those who may still be unsure why the war in Ukraine has not ended and why peace negotiations have been made illegal via an executive order signed by Zelensky, allow former UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, do the explaining.
