Why would anyone be against appointing an Inspector General to catalog and inventory such a large amount of money and lethal weapons? It's immoral to NOT have accounting oversight on this.

@Kameron Jones ohhh yes we did and no it was not. Rewriting a narrative are you? At 83 billion and now 40 billion what do you consider older? And how much of it is not usable in combat today? What was our savings on this gear and equipment that did not have to be re-contracted? Since I know for a fact it is quality gear and equipment (on both giveaways) you should go there fully armed and tell just one of them to pull the stuff off. I trust you are confident in the gear "you would wear to this discussion" to come back alivs? Let us hear some real insider info. on this. There has to be a line of BS you are relying upon with this or is your last name in line with the first Usay?...Uday. Tell me something...how does 2" manilla rope feel? How does the Tomahawk we gave you taste for breakfast? I know you have the straight scoop on this 123 billion. You just have too.

@Casper S. I agree with you. But do take some solace in that the weapons we are giving Ukraine are from older stockpiles, and needed to be used or demolished at some point. We hadnt purchased a Javelin or a Stinger in almost 20 years, because neither had any use in our middle eastern conflicts.

Heres a simple response, its already paid for. Its 40b not really in cash anymore just 40b in military equipment they wanna donate. Maybe some money is involved but barely if its arms. Majority would already have been funded by the massive us budget and people really think were handing over 40b in cash in a day, if we did our economy wouldnt be the best.

The international threat USA is dealing with and you only care about domestic, but if we let countries like Ukraine and Taiwan fall in hands of our enemies, that would damage USA immensely, Ukraine provides most wheat for the world, has tons of natural resources in black sea that Russia wants to take over which would mean if Russia has access to all of that, USA and Eruope will be even more dependant on Russians in future. Taiwan provides 92% of the world's semiconductor chips that US military uses as well (neither US or China have achieved this technology compared to Taiwan), Taiwan's economy is also very very important to US. If we lose access to Taiwan, then that would mean ALL OF OUR advanced military tech will be dependant on China. You have to be VERY simple headed to not understand the global threat America has been under, please stay away from geopolitics if you have zero comprehension of it. If America doesn't show support for their allies, then many of our current allies will open more ties with China and Russia in return giving them more power and cutting us off from international power.

Why are we helping another country when right here in the United States we have whole families sleeping in their cars or on sidewalks. I love how quickly politicians can spend our tax dollars and not be held accountable. Yes I know they can be voted out of office but the reality is once they are in there they are there for life. I don't care if this sounds like President Trump or not I believe the American people should come before any other country in the world. Invest back into America get factories running get the homeless someplace safe. 40 billion dollars would go a long way in this country to help its own citizens. We need to stop thinking we can fix all the world's problems. None of that benefits the average American. Keep taxpayer dollars here in the United States.

@rtf Unfortunately, the problems we have here in the Unites States are not problems that will be solved by money. We have been on the losing side in the War on Poverty since 1964 because throwing money at it hasn't worked. Too steal an old phrase, most people don't need a hand out, they need a hand up. That takes time and effort and volunteers but the U.S. thinks cash is always the answer. I wish it were so, because I could just drop $100 off at the local Rescue Mission every week and not show up there anymore. It doesn't work that way. It never did and never will.

@0:35 "We have a moral obligation to act swiftly." Then get out your own goddamn checkbook. You can't act morally with someone else's money. You do so by putting your money where you mouth is. After you donate from your own pocket then spend your time outside of work privately raising funds for the causes that you belief in. Moral obligations that are paid for with stolen or borrowed money is not moral. Nor is it moral to force someone to do what you think is right. His idea of morality is simply the ends justify the immoral means. If that is the case, Schummer, then how about the ends of saving this country for the long-term means that in the short-term to intermediate term government programs are cut as we work to spending no more than we take in, we simplify the tax code to a Fair Tax type program, and return the majority of what the federal government has take on as it role back to the states where it belongs.

None of the Ukraine bil money will ever go to your other needs. It is not about money it is about politics. They won't repurpose this money for you. All this achieves is delaying help to Ukraine and nobody benefits from it except Putin. Rand has a moral obligation to represent the people. We requested better military aid for Ukraine and we demanded no more delays! Hundreds of people collected signatures, mailed letters to the representatives, we pestered with phone calls. We did our job. We won a 100% vote. The people spoke. This should not have happened. How can the people exercise their power if the representatives refuse to listen to a 100% agreement? He disregarded what we decided. He chose to delay it one more week for a different agenda. During the delay, people will die unless they hold an emergency meeting and vote again. When the aid is packaged and shipped they will get a packing slip. Documentation is handled. He isn't throwing a blockade over concern of accountibility. He is another motivation. And It's a damn shame.

How bout they match it with 40 billion of housing aid to low income Americans. Would that really be too much to ask with rent in many places having risen by more than 30% in a single year? We need to start helping our own citizens before it's too late. Many Americans are being bumped right out of the middle class due to stagnant wages and obscene increases in the cost of living. I'm not saying Ukraine doesn't need help. I'm just saying that it's wrong to keep ignoring the needs of our own citizenry. America is in a full blown crisis. Our standard of living is declining at an extraordinary rate and none of our politicians seem very concerned about that. Defense contractors surely love this big bag of continued handouts. Those political donations certainly come in handy for them.

Its a terrible position to be put into. Morally Americans feel they must aid Ukraine but at the same time. Why is it when its military funding its easily brought up and wanted. Yet when its for things that Americans need. Its an uphill battle in Washington. Politicians need to get their priorities straight.

Vor 8 TageZachary Lewis
@Minh Nguyen No its working, Russia is just barely propping it up. Its bound to pop the further this war continues. If EU can finally push towards the oil embargo on Russia then Russia is going to bleed money. The fact that its forcing countries to pay in roubles for gas says a lot.

Why don't you just get all the politicians that voted yes to donate their net worths to Ukraine? I'm sure you will get a big bundle of cash from Mitch, Nancy, Schumer all the others who voted yes instead of coming after the taxpayer dime without our consent.

He's correct in doing so! Only a small part of the forty billion is going to Ukraine. No one knows where the rest is going...I'd say democratic self interest groups/projects

We don’t have morale obligations we have zero obligation to do anything for any country. Use 40 billion for this country. I don’t care if it’s for a Republican desire or a democrat desire at this point just do it for Americans for the love of god.

You have a moral obligation to Americans first, Schumer! Here’s an analogy; if my child needed help and the neighbors child needed help equally, I would be very negligent to walk out on my child and go help the neighbor’s. I wish the neighbors child well, but my DUTY is to my child first. Demoncrats don’t care, it’s all about them and their power.
