Biden’s Remarks on Paying Ukrainian Pensions Resurfaces, Stoking Anger
Breitbart ^ | 02/19/2023 | Kristina Wong

Posted on 02/19/2023 7:12:32 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

A video clip from April 2022 of President Joe Biden requesting American taxpayer money to pay Ukrainian pensions has resurfaced, prompting anger as the nation debates reform of social security in America, which is projected to be depleted by the mid-2030s.

In the circulated video, Biden says:

It’s going to deliver much-needed humanitarian assistance as well as food, water, medicines, shelter, and other aid to Ukrainians displaced by Russia’s war, and provide aid to those seeking refuge in other countries from Ukraine.

The attrocities he left are getting us into are unreal- He is also apparently going to attempt to give away our sovereignty to the un, without congress even being able to vote on it, and those supporting him say the contract “Will be legally binding” “Treaty” I guess they are callingit.

Many on The left are truly a danger to our sovereignty and independence. Obama did the same thing too.

Well, what this reinforces is the principal reason why he recklessly withdrew from Afghanistan:

Diversion of resources - money, primarily, & materiel - to Ukraine, on which they obviously had intel of an impending Russian action.

I support the US paying the pensions of Ukrainians, since it was certain AMERICANS, the Neocons, with a blood-lust for starting a war with Russia, that has led to the destruction of Ukraine.

So, yes, after what we’ve done to Ukraine, the least we can do is help them a bit after Russia completes their liberation.

***...social security in America, which is projected to be depleted by the mid-2030s. ***

But, but we were promised it would never go broke! Her it is from 1964! Bookmark this link as it is almost impossible to find on the SS web page!

Self-Supporting

“The program is designed so that contributions plus interest on the investments of the social security trust funds will be sufficient to meet all of the costs of benefits and administration, now and into the indefinite future—without any subsidy from the general funds of the Government. Both the Congress and the Executive Branch, regardless of political party in power, have scrupulously provided in advance for full financing of all liberalizations in the program.”

My Dad was a long-time VA Volunteer - the VA Hospitals and nursing homes are in 3rd World conditions - there are buildings being used that were built in the 1920’s -this would never be tolerated by the Ukrainians.

“...sufficient to meet all of the costs of benefits and administration, now and into the indefinite future...”

That depends on what the meaning of “indefinite future” is

According to the US Constitution no treaty is legally binding unless ratified by 2/3 of the US Congress.

Yup- but that never stops the left from skirting the law or rules- thumbing their noses at it really- our side is the only one held to account for the rules and laws-
