That’s the only thing Obama knows how to do. Throw other people’s money at a problem.

It really doesn’t matter. Paul Ryan and Boehner along with McConnell gave him a blank check - no questions asked.

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — U.S. officials say the White House is announcing an aid package to Ukraine of $1 billion in lost energy subsidies as it seeks to extract itself from Russia’s influence.

There are so many things wrong with this statement.
1. Not all of Ukraine wants to “extract” itself from Russia. 2. We don’t have a Billion dollars to give to anyone for any reason. We are broke.
3. If we are going to borrow and spend money we can never repay, how about we use it to help our own people!
