    if that’s all it was then why do we need to keep sending millions upon millions of dollars to Ukraine?

      We are not sending millions and millions to Ukraine.

      In fact that money doesn’t leave the country.

          Here you go. A map of all the production facilities in the US manufacturing weapon systems for Ukraine with the money congress appropriated. A good chunk are high paying union jobs as well.

          One has to ask, why do the Republicans want an end to all this when it’s literally a massive money earner?

          Because they need it to fail to make the economy take a nosedive to get people to vote republican. It’s another “break everything to prove government doesn’t work.”

          I’m willing to bet even if Joe Biden were to agree to their demands on the southern border, they would simply pick up and move the goal posts again because they want the economy to fail.

            Is this some kind of joke? The economy is in the tank already. IDGAF what they say on the news. the stock market =/= the economy. just walk outside. look around. ask your neighbors if they think the economy is better or “good”. if you’re really open minded (which i doubt, given your posts) think back 4 years and ask yourself how much further your dollar when then, compared to today. The GOP doesn’t need to do ANYTHING to prove that government doesnt work. our entire system is broken and has been for decades.
