Johnson told senators that the House will send a Ukraine aid package to the Senate but floated the idea of making it a loan or lend-lease program so U.S. taxpayers would not be shelling out tens of billions of dollars without any expectation of getting a return, according to senators who participated in the discussion.

quote:

Notably, Johnson did not say whether such a Ukraine aid package would include tough border security reforms, such as “Remain in Mexico” language, which would face opposition from Senate Democrats.

quote:

Graham emphasized any loan to Ukraine would be “waivable” and would not charge interest.

So in the end we just give them the money, but for now the politicians can hide behind that fact that we "loaned" them the money

I feel like this is like my kids asking for money. I aways say no. My wife says okay. I lose.

Will they have to pay back before another one is given?

This is Trump's plan. Didn't you hear? There was a big thread about it just the other day.

Jewish kid goes to his dad and says "Dad, I need $20." Dad says "$10? What do you need $5 for?"

Ukraine can repay it with sending attractive young female flight attendants to the USA.

Trump doesn’t want the border fixed until he’s elected. It’s his best argument for reelection.

Johnson is a wimp. Why can't we get ANY strong leaders in DC?

The loan idea is an interesting strategy. I don't think another cent should go to Ukrain; however, I feel like this is their way of offering something they know the Democrats will reject so that they can point the finger back at them and say "we tried" to help you.
