Stop ALL the funding for these two. The United Nations has called on them to STOP and they don’t want to STOP. Then STOP the funding immediately and for good.
Who cares what the UN says? Russia can leave ukraine, I really don’t care either way about Israel - middle eastern nations should be doing more to help.
and you will pay whit your people life later
Send billions to Ukraine, and forget about the banks that are crashing, forget about the financial depression and forget about the inflation here in America, forget about the homeless crisis here in America. Boy this is unbelievable.
“Inflation here in America”
No. It’s everywhere. This is what you people don’t understand. Gas prices and inflation are up *everywhere*. America doesn’t exist in a vacuum. I know this kind of destroys the horseshit narratives about Democrats/Biden spending, but those are the facts.
America is under a deep deep mud and will take a group Americans who loves America to pull it up to the surface. Amen
The equipment being sent to Ukraine was funded by money from the military budget. It isn't at the expense of any other budget in the US.
The banks that are crashing? You do realize they’re crashing because they’re ignoring regulations that will protect them, right?
Financial depression? By what standard? Even know what a Depression is? Our GDP is through the roof!
Inflation? The entire world is suffering inflation from the aftermath of Covid, and yet somehow, America’s inflation is way, way lower than any other advanced nation! Obviously, Biden is doing something right but you’re too biased to even see that! Sad…
Homelessness? Talk to Trump about the cuts to US Department of housing and urban development, as well as bank regulations aborted that now allow banks to buy rental properties in a monopolistic fashion, and raise the rates! Not to mention the refusal of GOP to stop de-institutionalizing places for the mentally ill. And every time we try to raise the budget for the mentally ill, they will agree that all the mass shootings are caused by mental illness, but they won’t agree to do anything about it!
Unbelievable! UNBELIEVABLE, you say! Yeah… You are!
@@nickestes1839who pays for the military budget?
NO MORE SENDING BILLIONS TO OTHER COUNTRIES
regardless of Israel and/or Ukraine being funded. Struggling American tax payers lose in the end.
The United States pays for 20% of Israel's military budget while Israel has universal health care, subsidized college tuition and still ran a budget surplus last year
Democrat states also paid for 54% of the entire Louisiana Republican state budget last year and have for decades. They're a debtor state sucking in more tax money than they give. Another 9 Republican controlled states do the same. Tax payer subsides to these states cost Americam tax payers over 300 times more than the US gives to all foreign nations combined. In sheer cost, these debtor states are our nation's biggest welfare recipient's and biggest financial burden.
@@ronaldcole7415 I would cut aid to Israel long before I cut aid to Louisiana. America First.
@@tylerdurdan7128 Cut Ukraine, not Israel.
Meanwhile who pays for democrat run states like California? Nobody because we can’t print that much.
@ronaldcole7415 Meanwhile, every year, California runs a billion dollar + deficit every year, and America has to bail them out.
Well if anyone thinks we can just keep sending money with no accountably is just stupid. I'm wondering what Biden is going to run on with his campaign. Have not seen anything to help Americans.
No accountability? You're spewing utter nonsense. Time and time again commitees have found Ukraine aid is being used for its stated purpose.
@@nickestes1839really...let's see the report
Accountability? They let Trump get away with treason at two impeachments, and you cry about accountability? Trump excepted bribes via his hotels from foreign countries for four years… renting rooms with all the bonus packages, from a masseuse and chef to Entertainment and dog walking, even though not a single person showed up to enjoy the “ amenities”! The Trump family made over $640 million during this time… While the typical president makes $400,000 a year! Accountability?
When are you going to hold Trump accountable for stealing hundreds and hundreds of classified documents? Or for trying to hide those top-secret documents, and when we the people asked for them to be returned?
At least Biden had the inflation reduction act, lowered prescription costs, gave student debt relief, stimulated the economy with renewable energy projects, signed an infrastructure bill… All things that Trump couldn’t do!
What did Trump do? He signed a tax cut for billionaires… But since he gave a measly 10% of that tax cut to the bottom 90% of America, you think he’s great? Wow… He really saw you coming!
Biden passed infrastructure and manufacturing subsidies. Manufacturing plant construction is 4x what it was in 2019 because of companies coming back home from overseas- China’s exports have taken a huge hit. How does that not help Americans? Our infrastructure is falling to pieces but there’s new work going on with tens of thousands of projects still left to be funded over the next five years.
What are republicans going to run on? Cutting social programs and passing massive tax cuts for the rich?
@@nickestes1839 That is literally 100% bullsh*t. A fully manufactured figment of your imagination. An outright, easily provable LIE.
If Joey wants to send money to Ukraine and Isreal he can do so with his own bank account, not another cent sent anywhere besides America and Americans! How amazing our cities would be if we re-allocated this money to our own people and cities!
No funds for Ukraine, funds for Israel.

That's is so greedy stupid We have allies that we support and that will support us in the FUTURE. GREED AND SELF SERVING AMERICANS NEED TO GET A GRIP We have more than enough resources compared to many others around the world My President Joe Biden is a Humanitarian, you should be too❤
@@usveteran9893why? Peace for Isreal Democracy for Ukraine Amen
@@michelegriffiths8886 sorry but we’ve give Ukraine enough..
It's strange to me that their able to send money to other countries,
When debt to them is a very big deal now with the government.
If that was a big deal to the GOP, why did Trump (and the GOP) raise the deficit by more than the last five presidents together? Why are they cutting the IRS budget, when every billion dollar spent on the IRS raises revenue by over $2 billion?
When the IRS is allowed to do their job, they make sure everyone pays their taxes… Even rich billionaires who are cheating… And that is the only reason that the GOP wants to cut the IRS budget! Don’t fool yourself! They’re just trying to protect the rich, even if it hurts the country and 99% of the citizenry!
This should not be voted on together. Really need to have separate bills. Sick that they keep trying to lock them together. They are not the same war.
Simple solution: No more aid. If you want to send money over there you can send them your money, not anyone eleses.
Maybe the GOP and corporate donors can send all that money they made on those tax breaks! Give up their yatchs and private jets!
@@jdleo18 You must not know how taxes work. A tax break costs nothing, it simply means you keep more of your money.
@@webportal6659
LOL! Do you think he doesn’t understand how taxes work when you say something as ridiculous as that?
The question is who keeps more of their money, Einstein!
The GOP thinks it is more important to cut the IRS budget, so that rich billionaires can get away with cheating on their taxes easier… Instead of helping our allies under attack!
So what you’re saying is Republicans refuse to stop our neighbors from beheading babies, or invading other peoples houses and taking them over, unless we let the rich get away with paying less than their FAIR share of Taxes?
What a joke! A sick one, but still a joke!
For every dollar we spend on the IRS, we get more than two dollars back… By catching rich billionaires who are cheating on their taxes!
So helping rich billionaires get away with cheating on their taxes is more important to you than defending democracy from dictators and bloodthirsty rampagers?
Do you know nothing of the principles that make America so great?
@@jdleo18 You mean the tax breaks that immediately preceded the highest tax revenues the gov't had ever received?
@@webportal6659Tax breaks reduce government revenue which in turn increases deficit. Debt is both a revenue and spending problem.
If you make Schumer mad, hey, that's a good sign
Do you mean… A good sign that you’re a moron?
What type of blackmail does Ukraine have on these politicians.
Tell me about how our country is controlled by Zionists and their unconditional love of Israel and the crimes they commit for 75 years.
Hold strong! Single subject spending bills is the way forward...no more hidden pork!!!
So why did Trump and the GOP raise our deficit by more than the last five presidents did together? Were they worried about pork then? Oh, the pork was all for the top 1% back then, so it was OK?
What they’re really hiding from you is that every billion dollar spent on the IRS brings us 2 billion dollars back in return! Their dirty little secret is all they care about is protecting rich billionaires cheating on their taxes! Get with the program… They’re using you!
Gongress is like the game show LETS MAKE A DEAL
How much is Europe giving?
As a percentage of GDP, more than us. We're at the bottom of the list.
@@RuthB51 how do you know that?
@@CookedAnimalEater The Kiel Institute is a think tank in Germany that has been keeping track of aid to Ukraine. Several countries have contributed a higher percentage of GDP than we have:
Norway
Lithuania
Estonia
Latvia
Denmark
Poland
Slovakia
Czech Republic
Germany
Finland
United Kingdom
Netherlands
Sweden
Croatia
Bulgaria
No more to Ukraine, take the funding from the " stop the inflation bill" the money is there.
The Inflation Reduction Act is making money for us… so by all means, take the money out of a program that is saving us money and generating wealth… Great idea!😵💫
We’re 33trillion in debt. We borrow the money we give them. Let bidden donate from his 10%
Good for the house!!!
But bad for the country! For every million dollars spent on the IRS, we get over $2 million back by catching those who cheat on their taxes! Do you think it’s a good idea to protect Rich billionaires who get a tax break for buying a private jet? Do you think it’s a good idea to raise our national deficit by doing a crappy job? The house GOP are all a bunch of morons! And don’t think they don’t realize what they’re doing… They’re just pulling a con job on people like you… why is that so easy?
but I thought the economy was still booming. That is what Bloomberg says
why are the media lying about the economy?
C'mon man....we still got money to launder.
About time us Americans have a good speaker of the house Mike Johnson
We will have to wait until Jan 2025 for that.
Matt Gaetz will get his resolution to remove the speaker of the house again as Matt Gaetz is not that good terms with the new speaker.
Yeah he'll last about another 2 weeks.
A good speaker? It is more important to this ROTTEN speaker to protect rich billionaires cheating on their taxes instead of helping democracies around the world! That’s sick!
This is true but I want to know when we the people will get a leader and not a trader to democracy.
Let’s end aiding Ukraine…
And Israel too, no more tax dollars to fund rogue States
What about american whos going to help us here
I think IRS brings in $. Why not cut Congressional salaries instead.
No refund checks for 2024! Understaffed.
Remember?
"Weekend at Bidens"
If Americans got to vote on it , we wouldn't be sending any money to Ukraine or Israel.
Joe calls that defending democracy 🤣🤣🐑🐑
Good! Every spending bill should stand or fail on its own merits!
Time to finally cut the budget to single purpose actions and funding. Not an extreme right wing concept to stop rupturing our finances with increasing debt when moneys can be reallocated from less than necessary, non-life threatening agendas, including very expensive and ineffective green climate experiments like funding the largest windmill construction off the East Coast that definitely threatens marine and animal life.
How about us! The American citizens?
Saying George Stephanopaloos is a legit journalist is like saying Joe Biden has a fully functioning brain.
Your ignorance is showing
Coming from magas who worship a Jim Jones 2.0 Kool aid!
Where would you be when you say that? Would you be in Sioux Falls? Or Sioux City?
Why would you say something as biased as that? Have you been injecting bleach? Taking ivermectin? Shoving an infrared light up your you know what?
Or maybe you’re just paying too much attention to “legit” journalist like Sean Hannity, and Tucker Carlson and Judge Jeanine… After they caused Fox News to pay $780 million in damages to the Dominion Voting Machines because they were caught lying about a “stolen election“for over two years! They were caught red-handed through their private emails… But I bet you think they’re “legit”.
In other words… You’ve been brainwashed by people who lie to you for a living. What does that say about your “functioning brain”?
Trump spent $8 trillion and all we got was more tax cuts for the elites. Biden passed infrastructure and manufacturing packages, now manufacturing plant construction is up 4x what it was in 2019. Real results instead of nonsense like carrier or lordestown who pissed off to another country shortly after trump’s press conferences.
What are you going to run on? Cutting taxes for wealthy people who don’t need it? Yeah, I’m sure young people - the new voting majority, will rush to the polls so excited to see billionaires buying up real estate getting more tax relief.
Build our damn wall first. Nothing else matters to Americans
No more aid for war
Blessings to Mr. Johnson❤️🙏⚓
Blessings? He’s raising our deficit by cutting the IRS budget… Are you kidding me? Don’t you know for every dollar we spend on the IRS we get more than two dollars back? He just wants to protect rich billionaires who cheat on their taxes… People who get “tax breaks“ for buying private jets , and super yachts!
Blessings? He’s going to hell for sure…
How about Mr Biden takes his personal funds and finance Israel you know everybody's talking about helping everybody why they don't go in their own pocket and take their own money out and help you crane Israel and everybody else we the American people need help here
FJB!!!!!
It’s really the United States Government vs. The People.
Why would they help anyone for any reason other then profit
Yeah, because helping other democracies survive and keeping bloodthirsty killers from taking over countries is only done for profit!
WTF?
NO MONEY FOR ANYONE!!! We can’t even pay our own debt. We are so irresponsible with money. Like a teenager with a bunch of credit cards who thinks they’re rich.
We can pay our debt, but a certain party would rather cut taxes for rich people who don’t need it. It’s time to reverse all Reagan era reforms.
I know, right? The GOP raised our deficit under Donald Trump way more than the last five presidents did?!
The Donald Trump tax cut raised our deficit by over $2 trillion! And they’re so irresponsible, they didn’t even pay for it! Credit cards in deed!
If we had just left the budget alone after Bill Clinton balanced it, we’d be paying off that that deficit every year…
How about send that money back here to the AMERICAN PEOPLE! It’s our money, should go back to us. We are in need here. Stop sending to other countries 🤦🏽♀️
SINGLE ITEM BILLS ONLY!!
This crowds whole tune would change if a Republican was asking for the money !
Usa falling apart.. send 100 billon.
We need this money to feed arr army
We've helped everyone but ourselves money 💰 is not limitless.
No aid for no one get a job and fight there war leave us out
All these money for war. While Americans are struggling here. Smh
We are tired of subsidizing other countries. Only one I believe we should help is Israel. They were attacked and Humas is also threatening the USA. So we need better protection here definitely
No more US Taxpayers money for any foreign aid!! US🇺🇸& Americans First
AMERICA FIRST 🇺🇸
If we stop helping, God will not stay with us for long. Repent time is short America has become lazy selfish and hateful. This is not the America most of us remember. Wake up. Love God ALMIGHTY love eachother, we must do better
So let's start a charity drive
Maybe someday we'll wake up and realize our tax dollars being spent all over the world isn't helping anyone 🐑🐑🐑🤣🤣.
In fact, it's the reason for 90% of the trouble in the world.
It's time to rethink aid to Ukraine. Definitely aid for Israel.
We are BROKE!! $33+ TRILLION of debt...and we keep SPENDING SPENDING SPENDING...STOP SPENDING!!!
Debt is a revenue and spending problem. If there is no revenue, then debt cannot be paid.
For your information, the annual interest on that debt was $659 billion for 2023...a $345 billion increase in just the last 3 years. Soon it'll be ONE TRILLION DOLLARS, just in annual interest!! The kicking the can down the road has run out of road.
Stop sending money to Ukraine.
If he vetos us republicans sue in federal court period
Joe go home. Why should we even have a president that never fought in the war?
The Senate and POTUS want a combined Defense bill, the House is putting itself in a very stupid position.
What a grest idea 💡 😮
Giving them tax dollars away to all these people who are not Americans beats anything I have ever seen how these folks do like the tax money the people break they backs making can't even pay rent but hey let's give trillions away some more????
They are giving weapons not cash.
And 10% for the big guy. Don’t forget that.

When are we going to have the government help us Americans?
Imagine holding up aid to an ally in need to disrupt fiscal accountability
Well, Israel support their Republican friends, and now Republicans are backstabbing Israel.
Just wait until they need to pass a spending bill, they will try to cut Biden’s infrastructure programs and manufacturing subsidies that attracted companies back from Asia. So tired of the games by extremists.
Israel is not "in need," nor is Ukraine, or Zelensky likely wouldn't be scraping so much off the top.
Kenapa mahu tunggu Zionis berhenti menyerang Gaza?
As an American, I do NOT want that IRS money touched. We need to get those that need to pay taxes to pay their share. Please do not speak for me.
Judging from your comment someone definitely should speak for you ....
Do you think maybe Joe and Hunter should’ve paid taxes on all of their corrupt money deals?
Exactly! Funding the IRS won't mean you and I pay more taxes, it will mean that those who haven't been paying their taxes are more likely to be caught. It's VERY telling that MAGAs are afraid of the IRS catching tax cheats.
Do you really think they'll be going after the rich? Get real. They'll target the poors because they can't afford lawyers or accountants and will end up setting up a payment plan as the late fees add up.
That's right! Starting at the top, Joe & Hunter need to pay their share. If not, how can they expect anyone else to?
Hahaha 😝 😂

What money? I’m not the top 1%!
Apparently you are, because all that’s important to you is cutting the IRS budget, so that rich billionaires can get away with being tax cheats!
So you have money you owe to the American people… Pay up! And we will defend democracy with money that you made off of the system that we created! If you benefit so much from our infrastructure, that we made, you should pay more, but instead you try, and usually succeed, to pay less % of your income in taxes than us HARD working Americans!
Johnson thinks he’s a Christian… But he is a full-blown worshiper of the antichrist, wanting to help billionaire tax cheats instead of stopping murder and war crimes!
What's (NOT) funny in a LOT of the comments here, is that they are perfectly willing to withhold aid to an ally to defend itself and then will b+ch when we have to send troops! They are perfectly happy and willing to give that money to the ultra rich so they can buy another tax-free yacht or home. "I LOVE the poorly educated!" And you CHEERED!
Btw...I just LOVE how you equate the 'rich' keeping more of the money THEY earned, as somehow the govt 'giving' them money...lol...Apparently, you aren't particularly knowledgeable, in regards to whom pays the Lion's share of taxes? The top 1% pays around 40% of federal income tax revenues. Fifty percent of adults pay ZERO federal income tax.
