Try looking at what the federal government actually spends money on. The spending on Ukraine is a drop in the bucket - and that bucket is actually in the USA where the funds go to American citizens working in the defense industry.

When the USA transfers an obsolete missile to Ukraine it is accounted for at the replacement cost, even though the missile itself is worthless to our military. And then Raytheon, or BAE, or Boeing gets paid from the Ukraine appropriations to build a brand new missile for the US to keep.

And then instead of spending tax dollars to decommission the old missile it gets launched and destroys some Russian equipment.
