Yeah, the hundreds of billions the Feds spend on social programs every year is "no money."

Seriously. I'm so sick of this idiotic narrative. "No money for... x but plenty for Ukraine," as if the US has a finite pot of money and none of it is going anywhere but Ukraine. We just write a fucking check, dude. That's what we do. Put it on the credit card. You need money for homelessness? No problem. We just need a will to do something about it.

Also, the lack of distinction between federal dollars and state dollars here isn't important I guess?

Ridiculous.
