The deficit is not caused by Ukraine aid or even defense spending. It's out of control domestic spending.

I'm certain the past couple of continuing resolutions contained more in earmark pork than the Ukraine aid in this bill.

First of all, we won’t “run out of money” as some people ridiculously assert. Inflation is the fundamental issue at present.

But that being said, spending is spending regardless of whether it’s defense or social policies. Once can make the case that one is more essential than the other, but they are both funded from the same sources.

That’s incrediblly stupid big-gov [non]reasoning.

“We’re already so far into deficit spending, another $trillion won’t matter.”

Euros simply want USA taxpayers to take care of Eurpoe’s problems. Saving Europe twice wasn’t enough. You want to hide behind our apron skirts forever. Man up and be somebody!
