Sounds like Prigo held out for more money, over and above the six billion from the "accounting error"...

Someone should tell The Tater that Prigo didn't deliver.

Remember when Trump wanted 6 billion to finish the wall and Pelosi told him we couldn’t afford it.

We could have built 30 or 40 walls by now with the money we have spent on the Ukraine war.

So nice that our government puts our interests first/s

Humiliating us on every front isn’t enough.

We have to be looted, too.

Are we up to a trillion now? Is anybody keeping track of the total? It seems like two or three times a week it’s another billion.

At this point the socialist have a point. If what you’re going to do with the money is hand it over to Ukraine then maybe it would be better to pay people’s student loans, give them Healthcare. For crying out loud, how much Money does Ukraine need?

It could have stayed here and bought countless more “stand with Ukraine” flags for people to hang in their yards and feel better about themselves.
