Military contractors getting rich
How about our people's tears?
We have so many problems here in the USA, but our stupid dinosaur politicians prefer to send billions for war.
With all that money we could fix every single problem in the US and still have enough millions to help other countries that really need help like Haiti, Africa, and some Latin America countries.
This is the most stupid and selfish thing this government has done.
This has no benefits whatsoever on US citizens, this benefits only the super rich and corrupt politicians.
Remove those politicians who serve other countries.
lol we cant!
With the exception of Trump and few others, they all work for the central bank which is globalist owned and operated. We must go back to Constitutional value based money, gold and silver.
No.
Those politicians serve America, too.
Those politicians show leadership !
Your kidding right the US has been doing this for God knows how long with other countries and now your crying about it?
Why? This isn't 1800, anymore. You can't isolate yourself.
What about aid to Americans?
66% of the budget goes towards the American people.
Stop voting republican if you want money for the middle class or to solve problems of the poor.
If you want aid maybe vote for the party that created Medicare and Medicaid, Social Security and want to raise the minimum wage and fund education and infrastructure. That's the Democratic Party btw.
@@diamondlion47 I was thinking more of veterans.
@@americafirst9144 If you actually care about American veterans then you should read this "The Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxins Act, also known as the PACT Act, would greatly expand eligibility for free medical care through the Department of Veterans Affairs, for thousands of veterans who have been exposed to toxic chemicals... All present Democrats and 8 Republicans voted to advance the legislation but 41 Republican Senators voted against the bill, including Sen. Marsha Blackburn R-TN., Sen. John Cornyn R-Texas., Sen. Rick Scott R-Fl., and Sen. Ted Cruz R-Texas." This shows you who really cares about our vets.
How many politicians are getting rich off these bills?
As many as you can find evidence of them receiving money.
All of them
All its why johnson is there.. $$$
What evidence do you have that members of the house are malign knew from this bill? Genuinely curious, what source do you have?
Quite a few. At least 50% of DC politicians and their families, have stock in Boeing, and military defense weapons manufacturers.
We don't even have that money. We are going to put it on the credit card and let the kids pay for it.
F our government
Okay, SJW. Keyboard warrior over here
Calm down. Watch the history channel.
F MAGA
Moscow Marge the American people Will never forgive your treachery.
Trying to hold that post-ww2 era with every dollar it can 😆😆. I think all this money will go to waste as usual like in Afghanistan and Iraq because Taiwan will be in China’s hand and Ukraine will lose. Do we think a 3-4 year money splurge on military funding to Ukraine and Taiwan will actually result in a win against Russia and China?
In a related story a young family and an older couple were seen taking groceries off their bills at the register because they didnt have enough money to eat properly.
L
Same boat here in yuma az, heck couldn't even get meals on wheels, can't even get help for my DOT number worth $300
You wasting money on war when our country has the highest homeless rate in the world.🤦🏿♂️
We can do both
@@calebcruz2812but are we? We can’t even pass healthcare for those affected by 9/11 without complaining that we don’t have money
💯💯💯
Home less in us they are very lazy they don't want to work even you give theirs a job or home they don't live they like to live like that
War is the banker's greatest cash crop. Take away the ability for banks to create money from DEBT AKA NOTHING, and you take all their power away, as it should be.
Meanwhile who is helping our country
It’s sad
Mike Johnson gone too far 😠
if america is SOOOO great, strong , and powerful, then why do we need HELP at all...?
Well, that would be the Democrats, as they've demonstrated over and over again the past year and a half!
OK.....WHO Gave Ukraine a Guarantee of Protection of It's Sovereignty For Giving Up It's Nuclear Arms...ANSWER IS The USA get It !! THE USA....Don't Give Guarantees If you Can't Make Good On That Guarantee!! and 99% of that Money will be spent In The US and Increasing Jobs and the Economy Is That Not Helping The Country?? Honestly!!!
"they got money for war but can't feed the poor"
Tupac - Keep Ya Head Up
Ha after 30 years still true af.
Why don’t you research domestic spending vs foreign aid then? Because 62% of the federal budget goes strictly to entitlement spending, 2% gdp goes to defense spending.
@@treycotter 3.4% of GDP on defense, but it is small and the Ukraine aid, including that just passed, accounts for only 6% of our defense budget since the war began. That is a tiny amount compared to being on a "wartime economy," which we might very well be if we don't help. For reference, we Americans spend 20% of our GDP on medical.
@@masterchinese28you people are scared Russia is moving into another country. You really don’t understand logistics of war do you?
Why can't the poor feed themselves? Oh, because they are too lazy to. Are you poor? Or just complaining like moscow green?
Shame on you for helping Israel, shame on you!
The house is not working for the people....OUR people. SICK.
The majority of Americans are in favor of this. You should leave your online bubble more often,and you'd know this too!
@@vidmasterK1I don’t know a single person in favor of this over protecting our borders and lowering inflation
@@Poiuytrewq11286we’re not protecting our border? Just a question then… did trump support our borde? I’m asking this because trump has not only a lower number of arrests at the border, but also trump was below 50% deportation, Biden is higher than 50% deportation. Also, guess which president started funding of Ukrainian military aid? Do a little research bud
@@Poiuytrewq11286yeah. Maga hates it. So that means everyone else is happy with it.
@@Poiuytrewq11286 as I said you need to get outside your bubble
Our government is pathetic... 🙄🤮🤮
Can’t remember the last time they passed something that directly benefits my life. They have billions for other countries and none for our own.
Maybe don't wish for handouts and work for what you want
@@calebcruz2812🤡
@@calebcruz2812 I don’t need much, but millions of my fellow Americans genuinely do. If you seriously believe sending billions to a lost cause (Ukraine) is more valuable than feeding the people dying on our streets, then it’s clear you have fallen hook line and sinker for Military Industrial Complex propaganda.
Yep, you don't drink clean water, you don't rely on sewage treatment, you don't drive, or consume any products shipped by road, plane or sea. You are not a veteran benefiting from over 250 billion in benefits last year, you didn't go to elementary or high school for free, you have no police protection, you don't rely on the military to protect you and your economic interests, and on and on...
@@calebcruz2812 tax money comes from the work of labor
Fire Johnson immediately
Move to Russia 🪆
Mike Johnson did the right thing. MTG is the one who needs to be fired.
Our border is wide open, and we send $100 billion over seas? That is crazy!
@@TrumpFanNetwork2 I agree the boarder needs strengthening but we're all workin together and figure that out. As far as Ukraine goes you have to stand up to Putin as if we don't now it will become a huge problem later like Hitler, WWII. And that's why America's badass man because we stand up for the little guys.
@@TrumpFanNetwork2that money goes to American defense company’s to replace our stockpiles of weapons what we do send them is old equipment that would cost more to keep or get rid of then just send it to Ukraine Taiwan or isreal
Almost 100 BILLION? Just given away?! To other countries?! We are definitely being taxed too much.
It's repulsive
With our tax money
Oh,
Does someone need a tissue.
@@pamelagilbert1638 yep,
Don't like it move.
Guess what pedant of gdp goes to domestic spending compared to foreign aid? Why don’t you look at the federal budget for once?
Money laundering
That's what Russian politicians do
Why can’t we give money to our own economy?!!!😡😡
Because we are run by globalist central banks that seek world domination, just like Hitler did.
Dude 70% is.
Because your nation has propoganda to push, countries to destablize worldwide.
@@gamerfan8445 ha
the military package in Ukraine will create more jobs for the Americans and aside from that the US weapons' export surged by almost fifty percent as the world saw how advance the US weapons are compared to other competitors
I wish We the People could get some help from our "government.".
Why not help help poor Americans first 😢
Which Americans? The ones with student loans? The homeless? The minimum wage earners? The ones who need health care?
Or all of the above, to whom the Republicans continue to block funding?
Yes we should vote for the party that wants to raise minimum wage and fund education and infrastructure, the Democratic Party.
This is helping Americans.
Why can't the poor help themselves? Ever think about that?
the irony of you guys asking for this when blaming democrats when maga republicans stalled and only ever talked about the border or funding israel or even suggesting to help americans just saying that. months ago there was a deal on the table to deal with so called border and and aid elsewhere. look what happened instead, yall got nothing because you couldn't accept adeal and the majority leaned into ukraine aid because not all republicans are MAGA, they know if ukraine is left unfunded it would just cause more conflicts like taiwan and elsewhere ruining the economy for us even more.
Here im struggling to pay off my taxes for 2023! My tax money
0.19% so far of a single years gdp has gone towards ukraine, and the invasion of Ukraine has been since going on for 2 and a half years. 62% of the federal budget goes towards entitlement spending. Foreign aid does bro impact you struggling to pay taxes . Get a grip
Greed gets you nowhere!
If it’s taxed it’s not your money anymore
Why doesn’t that 95b come from their pockets and not ours?
Your greed has you starving Guess you missed Jesus message.
Taxed money isn’t yours anymore
@@lovemypets254 my greed? HA.
@@johnswealu3917 missing the point buddy.
95 billion divided by 350 million is 270 thousand
Why don’t they give every person in America 270 thousand and make us all wealthy
Help the All the Veterans who Served .
It’s actually just $270… but yeah I see your point
Just imagine what we could do to help American citizens with that money
Maybe these citizens could get a job?
And then turn around and tell Americans how much in debt the US is in.
Where would our Politicians be in Washington without their Sugar Daddies, the defense contractors?
The congress isn't american any more
They are all Isreal dual citizens, look it up, it's crazy
And they can sleep like logs every night, knowing Americans are averse to organizing or participating in a protest. The laziest protesters in the world.
I agree BB has said he was picking at America little by little and today everyone that’s a politician works for Israel
It’s a Maga cult of destruction & greed to feed me me me! Think of others like Ukraine holding to democracy & their freedoms & life from a Russian enemy that wants to destroy OUR COUNTRY , our DEMOCRACY , Our freedoms! Think with your HEART & not your pocket!
"All Wars are Bankers Wars" by Michael Rivero is the best 40 minute history lesson your school will Never teach you. It makes sense of all wars, assassinations and government spending.
I’m an American and I won’t be able to afford living in this country anymore
How about our people's tears?

sold out the taxpayers again
You want your kid going to war? We have a NATO agreement. I'd rather pay for it with money than my kids life.
It’s not your money when it’s taxed
What a bunch of bull ! This should never have passed!
So... you want our kids boots on the ground when it finally lands on our door? Learned no history in school?
Right, let the other NATO countrys pay the bill while the US leans back and does nothing...
US spent trillions in the middle east this is nothing
How about taking care of the American people first
Next thing you know they'll be telling us that they'll have to cut social security. Meanwhile......
The big part of that money goes to american weapon manufacturers.
Our politicians' Sugar Daddies!
EXCELLENT! It's about time!
I thought the border bill was part of those packaged?
They conveniently took that part out. Who needs borders when you have no country?
@@jonearley We have a country. Maybe you should move to Russia - I hear they need manpower these days.
@@jonearleyTell it to tRump😂
AND NEXT MONTH THEY WILL WANT ANOTHER 95 BILLION
BIDEN MUST GO. This is a joke.
How can we afford this???
It's military aid, not financial aid. US warehouses are already *stacked* with weapons. Older equiptment will be sent to make room for new one. Doesn't affect taxes, the budget, or anything of the sort. (I'm not even sure if those countries won't have to eventually repay this, tbh)
We need to change the way congress decides how to vote on large money matters.They should let the American people vote on matters like this .Since we are the ones who will be paying for congresses big mistakes.But I guess are vote will not count because they do what they want anyway.
What a slap in the face to the American people.
No it's called American Leadership, Mike knows the World is a dangerous place, we are heading back to 1940s.
Congratulations to all members of Congress who will get the 10%. As for American taxpayers, better luck next tine.
How exactly did you come up with this number?
Username checks out
@@diamondlion47 Bahahaha 😂 good spotting
Congress is vault tec
Good maybe we can keep our boys out of ww3 if he provide enough aide to those already fighting it. I think us being so slow doing this is lives lost unnecessarily fighting for thier existence and our peace.
FOR THE HATERS you do understand that almost all of this support comes not in MONEY form but in ammunition and equipment witch is rooting in the warehouses anyway right ?
No, they don't understand that, bc what they really want is for Russia to win. Complaining about the money is often just an acceptable way to disguise that. Just like a lot of ppl complaining about Israel's abuses, but having no prob with the Palestinian ones, actually only have a problem with Israel winning...
Meanwhile I’m going to jail if I don’t pay $260 tax overdue👍🏼
Just pay your tax, don't behave like Trump.
@@simonpkiss1035 they already take enough every week, they take enough when I buy my groceries and they wanna take at the end of the year as well. Fuc outa here
@@RobayatRahmanit’s totally a you problem get a better job rather than complaining
@@bacon9646 well, um, the military kinda won’t let me get a second job as a active duty…
would you rather have the bill not being passed and then having to go to war yourself?
Trump has the right idea .Close all are borders and don’t get involved with other countries problems.
What’s wrong with getting involved with other countries?
Trump has never had a right idea that didn't benefit him.
Trump is the reason the border is open. He called Republicans in the House to make sure Lankfords border bill doesn't pass.
@@DrakeSmith-tn6ij Aside from all the deaths...? Well, the money doesn't go into the pockets of the American people but our defense contractors and political and corporate elites if you look at how the standards of living in the US has been going.
What’s the point of being a politician for the United States but helping other countries more than the one they are employed in🙄
saving the white race > saving U.S.
a White person in Ukraine or Israel will be given precedence over a non-European within these borders, yeah ?
Better to openly declare the religious angle, especially if one has no political power or interest and isn't trying to harm others without being attacked first.
Has it passed it the adult chamber Senate yet?
We in America have learned bitter lessons from two World Wars: It is better to be here ready to protect the peace, than to take blind shelter across the sea, rushing to respond only after freedom is lost. We've learned that isolationism never was and never will be an acceptable response to tyrannical governments with an expansionist intent.

Amen to that.
$35 trillion debt incoming...... 💥

No, it's called Leadership.
Leadership is bleeding your country out to make Blackrock and Lockheed Martin wealthy... I guess?
Well expect our gas prices to go even higher.
Actually probably goes down, because Ukraine is less likely to strike Russia oil refineries.

If dirt were dollars and dollars were spilt blood.
America last
Why Are We Sending Money To Taiwan Now?? What's Going On There??🤔
Warning to Brics. Ukraine=Russia. Iran is in Brics, Taiwan=China. They can't military their way out of this though. It's too late.
China's posturing and threatening their independence, we have a 4 decade old + agreement to help them maintain their independence. Congress is doing specifically what the law states they should be doing.
Where is all this god damn money coming from? I have no more to give!
What about our southern border?!
Which? Ukraine or Israel's?
95 billions and a slap in the face of American people
Serves American right for not going out and organizing, or participating in a protest. Laziest protesters in the world.
*Thank you ❤America❤.* Greetings from Germany.
Thanks a lot for helping those countries. To give them hope for victory against cruelty.

I don’t want to hear are government crying that they have to shut down because they don’t have any money plus keep your hands off all us hard working retired senior citizens 401 K ‘s and social security.

Inflation is high all over the world. The US has one of the lowest rates of inflation.
This Bill is arming up Taiwan in very much the same way the US has been arming up Ukraine. So what do we expect next for Taiwan??
Ehem......$34.6 Trillion in National debt. Just where exactly is this $100 billion coming from?
Exactly!!!
These mfs are insane
You’re damn right.
Foreign countries need to send missionaries here. This country has gone to hell .
Lol
I'm glad to see Christian Mike grow a backbone.
Aiding Taiwan who the citizens has better life and free healthcare than average Americans….. that s insane !
No matter what they send to Ukraine eventually they will run out an lose
theyve been doing GREAT so far WITHOUT our help.....
where you been?!
They will need more money again to rebuild when it is finished.
@@PhillipLemmon They've had our help the entire time...? What are you on about.
Mike Johnson needs the boot!
No, American leadership is urgently needed, we are back to 1940s
More of our money to others when we need it. Real Nice Clowns!
Mike Johnson is so disappointing.
It’s not just the border, it’s the cost of the people who crossed it and our liberties and lifestyle
And yet we are still being warned that Social Security will become insolvent within the next decade.
Are u kidding? This will make the world safer? What nonsense
That's great and I get it we need allies...but how about AMERICANS we need health care!!!
wtf....
Remember, it's not a taxation problem it's a spending problem
Mike Johnson sold out his leadership. That's a given, he caved and rolled over like a corndog in hot grease.
Our people are struggling yet we continue to send BILLIONS overseas. I’m definitely going to vote accordingly.
What choice do you have? We only have one political party in this country!
You realize under Trump americans used to go to soup kitchens in large numbers due to the covid recession? If you actually want to change something you'd have to vote in the primaries.
America last as usual.
What upsets me is they say Social Security and Medicare is running out of money and they are going to have to cut benefits but they can come up with 95 billion for other countries. We paid into these funds, they are not entitlements.
What is the distribution ratio between Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan?
Why media not provide complete information!
I rather not have our troops go to war
we had a good place, but they gave it away
Taiwan is wealthy enough😂 and they didn’t even ask aid wtf
Ukraine and Taiwan need our support. Good.
What if everyone collectively just didn’t vote this election? What would they do? Don’t matter what party you rep, just don’t vote.
When will we start taking care of our own.
$20k out of those tens of billions would change my life. And I was born and raised here. It’s time to stand up people.
Term limits
Stop sending our Tax Dollars overseas. When are they goin to use all that money to secure the boarders here in the USA….
whats the point...?
all of them are over here now anyway....that's why they sent the money to someone who REALLY needs it, lol
Very extremist😢😢😢😢😢
With all those extra people coming over here they will be taking jobs away from the ones already here.
Whenever Trump stops telling republican congressmen to stop blocking Lankfords border bill.
Wait all this and Russia only has shovels
Great that mike johnson did the Christian thing and helped our FRIENDS in need!!!
Watching the Republican party self distruct is simply hilarious.
Ridiculous….😡
Mgt is disgusting and out of line with a normal moral compass
