President Biden is weighing a wide-ranging supplemental funding request for roughly $100 billion that would include funding for Israel and Ukraine, according to people familiar with the matter. The sweeping measure would also include funding for border security and assistance to countries in the Indo-Pacific region, including Taiwan, the people said.

Biden administration officials said the package, which would include funding for the full fiscal year, hasn’t yet been finalized. The administration is expected to send the package to Congress in the coming days. Bloomberg earlier reported the $100 billion funding figure.

Wonder when FReepers are going to wake up and realize that D.C. is selling America out and voting is no longer an option anymore.

I'm sure the usual suspects with severe Cognitive Dissonance will reply with the obligatory cheap shots and blame at Putin.

I’ve heard that the breakdown is $10bn for Israel, $90bn for Ukraine and $0 for the American people.

I just realized that I believe they are asking for a blank check where they can divvy what ever amount they want to each party. The boarder security part is where they get the dark money.

You urgently need Trump back in office to put an end to this nonsense before it’s too late

Can’t come soon enough

Hey Biden, need money? Get a second job. Maybe the swimming pool is hiring.

You have posted the same whining posts attacking the GOP on every thread since 1999. After all most 25 years are you EVER going to attack the Democrats on anything?

You really need to learn how politics works in a Constitutional Republic

There aren’t enough of you 100%ers to form a viable 3rd party much less a national political party

When this was tried in the 1990s under Perot. Your sort of mindless dogmatists immediately started fighting with everyone else because you could not have your way politically 100% of the time. The result was, like every other time it has been tried, the suppose replacement party died.

Your sort of mindless political dogmatism, makes you totally irrelevant politically.

Well actually, since 2012. I was a staunch supporter of Bush and the War on Terror before realizing I've been lied to about everything.

November will be 24 years, not 25. Learn math.
I've attacked the Democrats just as vociferously as I have the Republicans.

We have a Constitutional Republic right now? Could've fooled me.

There aren’t enough of you 100%ers to form a viable 3rd party much less a national political party

All I want is for elected officials to focus on taxpaying, Legacy Americans. Why is this so hard to understand? I don't want troops to go to Bostwana because they prohibit homo marriage.

Blah blah blah - you're nothing but a Quisling hack.

"So wars on 3 fronts? What can go wrong..."

Yellen says we can handle 2 wars at once. At the current rate, we could have several more before the next election.

Takes guts to admit that. Not many will.

I think Trump is a beacon of sorts and if in place can deal with most of this nonsense but Congress is a big issue I’d say especially the senators.
