The money for Ukraine isn't coming from anywhere else other than the previously approved budget for military/aid type of stuff. You can't just reappropriate it to domestic issues.

Blame your state and local elected officials, and the people in D.C. who blow smoke up your ass when they say they care about you.

Yeah, that's wrong, have you forgot the other bills that have and have not been passed by congress that included funding for Ukraine? Like FEMA relief bill that included 12.3 billion in funding for Ukraine. Some of it was from the mil budget and some were not. Either or it is still money adding to or federal debt and has not shown to have really helped them that much.

Not only will they gut domestic spending happily, they'll also print every single dollar they need to wage war, buy off foreign governments, or fund the surveillance\police state...

but hey, money to support addiction, basic healthcare, social security raises for retirees... nah sorry *slaps pockets* we just don't have it.
