Covid aside, sure was fun seeing all that money go into Ukraine instead of helping to rebuild the local economy.
That's simply one of the many ways our country spends money it doesn't have, and really I'd bet at least 50% of that money gets funneled into the hands of unscrupulous business owners like Trump in the form of bloated contracts and other back-alley deals. There is at least SOME positive that comes from trying to stabilize the global food supply, and there is a humanitarian element as well, but that probably is a matter of perspective.
But it's not like we're going to give it to teachers, or invest it in our own public services. That's a no-no...because socialism? We're not going to stimulate commerce by sending it to citizens. You think politicians are going to send it back to us in the form of tax cuts? I'm about as likely to be pregnant while being attacked by a shark that is being struck by lightening.
I don't know the solution, but I think trusting the government to create the oversite to fix the over-spending on international issues like that, in an effort to balance the budget and restore economic stability is like trusting the cat to guard over the food so that he can't eat it.
