We gave $24B to every Ukrainian citizen??? I don't believe that there is that much money on earth.

Didn't you say yesterday it was $5T ? Where did the other $4,976B go?

> Ukraine --- I've been a frequent critic of our military budget, like Dwight Eisenhower.

However I'm not a naive pacifist, when we spend money to DEFEND our freedom, it should be cost effective.

Comparing Ukraine money to non military parts of our budget perfectly meets the definition of the word "ignorant."

Like Lend Lease its a part of the government's PRIMARY duty to defend our freedom, & like Lend Lease its a way to avoid getting our citizens getting killed being dragged into a war. Its also in our interest to economically weaken a predatory dictatorship.

Without defense all other parts of our budget are moot.

As for your list of our beneficiary countries I'll have more to say about that when Trump loses, there are many US policies (both parties) I think are foolish.

As for your made up figures about immigrants vs flood victims... laughably absurd.
