The bill allocates only $300 million in its record-breaking budget for Ukraine aid.

That seems like a pretty central part of the full picture, thanks for pointing it out! Here’s the Wikipedia article on the black budget, in case anyone is interested. The number cited there is around seven percent. :)

Can’t help but think that the 300 million is going to achieve a lot more for the safety of America and the West than the remaining 886 billion combined.
That’s a bit of an exaggeration. However, I do think bloodying a hostile foreign enemy without having to spend American lives is worth every single cent we send Ukraine, not to mention helping them defend their country is the right, moral thing to do…
Yeah. Fuck the people and their silly healthcares and petty studentloans and slavery and… Lets ramp up the boomboom! That’s benefitting nearly everyone.
Will we (humanity) ever really leave the stoneage? (rethorical question)
As far as I know democrats were pushing healthcare, and forgiving student loans. US has enough money for all of those
I’ve posted this recently, but when your party has both the house and the senate plus the presidency and you don’t do what you said, they are just campaign lies and you never intended on it. The other side being bad too doesn’t make the democrats good, just maybe slightly less aweful.
And when did this happen?
Both under Obama and Biden the Democrats had the house, senate, and presidency. They promised and then did nothing for abortion, immigration, or any of the other things they “promised.” Do I need to Google proof??? Did you forget the last ten years? Ok, so now the republicans have the house, but for the last two years the democrats had everything. What did we get from that???
You do, go get the proof.

The plutocracy have been in control the entire time. Ever wonder why the rich don’t pay taxes? Why congress gets to insider trade with 0 repercussions? It’s a big club and we ain’t in it.
Dude your own proof disproves you.
For like two weeks 10 years ago.
Reading comprehension?? Two years, not weeks, twice in the last decade. Literally the last two years and for two years under Obama.
so um. do you think one party controls all three of those right now???
Healthcare problem is a regulation one. We need to gut the pharma industry by negotiating drug prices and having single payer healthcare.
Most of our budget is health services now anyway.
