President Joe Biden announced Monday that survivors of the Maui fires would receive “a one-time $700 payment per household,” after he faced criticism for telling a reporter he had “no comment” on the rising death toll.
His account posted: “We’re laser-focused on getting aid to survivors, including Critical Needs Assistance: a one-time $700 payment per household offering relief during an unimaginably difficult time.”
The one-time payment of $700 per household is less than the estimated cost to each American household for the Ukraine War, according to a budget expert at the Heritage Foundation.
Richard Stern, director of The Heritage Foundation’s Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget, calculated that the congressionally-approved aid to Ukraine of $113 billion amounts to roughly $900 per American household.

Food for thought: if this is how Biden and fellow travelers (like the Hawaii governor blatant remarks about grabbing the land in the face of tragedy) treat those who voted for them (assuming the voting tally was legit--we have to question that now), how much worse will they treat those who didn't vote for them, if they have the ability/means to do so?
Meanwhile Zelenski and his cronies are living large.
Less than President Trump spent on election security too, apparently.
Joe probably has lunches at swank DC restaurants that cost that much.
Are foreign countries lining up to donate?
The true irony. The average Ukrainian is getting none of that. But government pensions are being paid compliments of the US Uniparty.

“Meanwhile Zelenski and his cronies are living large.”
They are buying castles in Spain and France and living it up on the French Riviera.
How much support did the citizens of East Palestine, OH receive?
I really dislike that SOB.
The last time I can remember overtures to help was in the wake of 9/11.
pedopoopypants spends that much on diapers for a week.
Yeah I’m pretty sure rebuilding Lahaina isn’t material to sustaining the globohomo hegemon.
$700. In Hawaii? That’s like $50 on the mainland.
Please don’t use the paltry amount of $700 to nail Biden. The Trump FEMA only sent $500 to us in Oregon when our town burned. It was there in a few days. Amazing. It’s emergency shelter funds and Hawaii will get billions.
It was 3 months later when Biden took over and it all became a nightmare trying to deal with government and nonprofits. I got nothing but that $500.
And after Katrina the Mexican army supplied a portable military kitchen for meals
The Hawaiians have ro pay Joe his usual 10% fee or they will be lucky if they even get the $700. Once Hunter Biden is on his way to Hawaii we’ll know they have paid up.
Cheapo Biden Promises Maui Fire Survivors $700 Per Household
<><>peanut compared to what he’s dumped into Ukraine......
<><>and a drop in the bucket compared to his forgiveness of student loans.
$700. per survivor household is ‘crumbs’ compared to what we could afford. They don’t even rate getting a full One Grand?
The cost of living in Hawaii is higher than in most other states.
