Senate Republican blasts House for passing foreign aid bills: Spending money 'we don't have'
Source: The Hill
Were gonna further mortgage and plunder our childrens future, over $100 billion, Johnson said during his Saturday morning appearance on NewsNation. We spend close to $900 billion on defense, but every time theres some kind of defense action seems like we need to do a supplemental.
I think the point that most of us have been making, most Americans believe that we ought to secure our own border before we spend over $100 billion that we dont have under our childrens future on helping other people secure their borders, he said.
Johnsons remarks on NewsNation Live came just hours before the lower chamber officially approved a $95 billion foreign aid package after months of intense debate. The foreign aid package includes around $61 billion for Ukraine, $26 billion for Israel, humanitarian aid for civilians in Gaza and other war-torn zones and $8 billion for the Indo-Pacific region. It also includes other national security measures, including a potential ban on TikTok.

(118 posts)$3 trillion to our debt.
Dismal failure George W. Bush added $12 trillion to our debt.
Deadbeat Donald the Republicon Traitor added $9 trillion to our debt.
President Biden finally mentioned the Deadbeat's addition to our debt during his latest State of the Union speech, but no one ever talks dismal failure George W. Bush's debt, and not enough about Deadbeat Donald's debt.
Perhaps they're afraid they'll be called out for being complicit, I don't know.
It seems like low hanging (delicious) fruit to me, but then again I'm not a politician.
However, it does seem the more publicly precise President Biden gets with Republicons' actions on women's right to choose, he and Democrats gain voters.
