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.

“So what is he going to ask to be cut from the budget to pay for it?”

Nothing. Print the money, let the dollar weaken, and make all of the world’s needy happy. Also take them into our country and coddle them.

“”Who’s Taiwan fighting?””

Look. At. A. Map.

Just because the Chinese are not yet in the boats doesn’t mean they are one big happy family.

No one thinks ahead the least bit. I guess we don’t need money for the terror attacks that will come from the invaders of the southern border. Of course, Republicans are for spending all that money on Ukraine and Israel, just a little less than $100b, or alternatively more than $100b, but broken up in smaller amounts, so it doesn’t look as bad.

I am against any tax dollars going to Ukraine and have been since the beginning of that war. I don’t want the U.S. involved in any way. As for Israel, I am 100% for providing moral support and paving the way for Israel to purchase weapons and munitions from us, using Israeli tax dollars. They are an advanced nation and perfectly capable of going into debt as much as we are. They can this pay the bill this time.

Oh, and anyone that thinks slightly ahead, how much will Operation Wetback II cost when Trump is President? That is something I am willing to pay for.

Freaking no!
ukraine is a kleptocracy. Not one dime.
Israel gets enough aid. They know they live next door to a monster. If they’ve not prepared for that, it is their freaking problem.
Same goes for Taiwan. If China is dumb enough to invade, they’ll get what they deserve.

WE ARE FREAKING BANKRUPT!

NOTHING! NOT ONE RED FREAKING CENT!
