Biden Asks Lame Duck Congress to Quickly Expedite Another $38 Billion for Ukraine Plus $9 Billion for Big Pharma
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | November 15, 2022 | Sundance

Posted on 11/16/2022 8:55:12 AM PST by george76

The White House is urging Nancy Pelosi to utilize the lame duck congressional session and construct a massive omnibus spending bill that will wrap Ukraine funding, COVID spending and a federal budget extension via continuous resolution. The request for Ukraine funding is an additional $38 billion.

Federal funds to support FEMA and hurricane recovery efforts will likely be part of the bargaining chips. Essentially, the sausage ingredients are: if congress doesn’t give Zelenskyy more money, then DeSantis will not get federal financial assistance.

If you don’t support Ukraine, you’re a Russian operative.

WASHINGTON DC – The Biden administration sent a letter to Congress on Tuesday outlining nearly a $38 billion request to help Ukraine continue fending off Russian attacks.

The administration is also asking for $10 billion in emergency health funding, with more than $9 billion going toward Covid vaccine access, next-generation Covid vaccines, long Covid research and more. About $750 million would be spent on efforts to control the spread of monkeypox, hepatitis C and HIV.

Congress has so far provided about $66 billion for Ukraine and other war-related needs. The administration argues that about three-quarters of that funding has either been spent or is committed to specific purposes.

An administration official said the White House plans to request additional disaster relief in the coming weeks to help with hurricane and wildfire recovery but didn’t provide any tentative figure.

The administration’s request for emergency money comes as appropriators aim to clinch a year-end government funding deal that would stave off a partial government shutdown on Dec. 16 and increase agency budgets for the current fiscal year. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has already promised to provide more money for Ukraine in a government funding package, while some conservatives are arguing that the U.S. should cut off financial assistance and assess how funding for the country has been spent to date.

U.S. taxpayer funds to Ukraine.
Ukraine funds to FTX.
FTX funds to the Democrat party.

This is documented, yet the MSM ignores and there will be no accountability. I can’t put into words the level of frustration this causes in me.

Big Pharma needs billions for what?

“With $24 billion in net income, Novartis was unexpectedly the most profitable pharma company in 2021, beating Pfizer and J&J, which recorded $22 billion and $21 billion, respectively.”

As for the Ukrainian aid, unless them Repub idiots get their collective arses together, more money headed to the blackhole known as Ukraine.

The lame duck session of Congress is an anachronism from the days when travel was by horse and sailing ship. It will not be reformed by act of Congress, only by an Article V Convention of the States. Too much is done in these lame duck sessions contrary to the popular will. It needs to be reformed.

“World Economic Forum in for a piece, too ?”

Wouldn’t doubt it, but the trail to that hasn’t been pointed out anywhere that I’ve seen.

“They won’t be able to launder it through FTX. Whatever will they do?”

The same New York bankers who set up FTX and who control the money designated for Ukraine will surely find another way to launder grift to the DNC.

Yes, it seems to be around a dozen supporters with about 5 thread posters.
