We are a little short on cash right now to take care of our own cities. Too busy sending all of our wealth to foreign countries that don't give a frick about us.
This is what really pisses me off. Congress can be bipartisan to send billions overseas but can’t do it to fix things like infrastructure, invest in our economy, fix healthcare, etc. The money spent on Ukraine alone would have done wonders on our crumbling infrastructure

Easier to trace money laundering domestically I suppose.

Cash ain’t gonna fix the problem.

Didn’t we just pass a gazillion $ infrastructure bill?

This is what gets me. I'm currently following the construction on youtube of chimney hollow reservoir. Fantastic project and one of the only reservoirs built in the last like 30 years. Its a five year construction project. They are boring huge tunnels, have their own concrete plant, rock crushing plant, asphalt plant. Building massive pipelines along with water pumps. Just an awesome project with many different components.
The cost? around 500mil.
To think we could do that project 150-350 times over with money we've send to Ukraine is wild. That's a lot of decent jobs for 5 years that results in useful infrastructure.

Assuming the bill discussed today is added, the combined amount of support for Ukraine is not even a fifth of what the infrastructure bill a few years back, even after you take out the pork.
Assume you didn’t have a issue there, right?
