To recap, you failed to provide evidence that all of the $113 billion is cash, but rather backtracked saying it's really all cash. When I pointed out that it isn't really all cash, you are calling me petty because you either can't understand or refuse to accept simple accounting terms.

The US has spent more on Ukraine than they have on all of their road and bridges
Point of clarification, are you talking about Ukrainian spending on roads or US spending on US roads?

It’s because he has no principles and isn’t nearly as smart as he thinks he is.

Of course you did. The fixed assets were a cashless creation. No one paid for them.
Of course, I didnt say that and in fact said the opposite below.

you are now trying to say it's all cash because it was all ONCE cash,
I'm not sure if you continue to dig this hole because you don't understand or you are just ideologically invested into your sunk-cost fallacy.

What happens when a military vehicle goes out of commission? It likely ends up at the Sierra Army Depot, a military equipment storage facility located in Herlong, Calif. The massive 36,000-acre site houses thousands of tanks, trucks, and other combat vehicles. The facility’s officials want it known that the patch of land is not a military junkyard.
In a YouTube video from 2014, viewers are given a firsthand look at the massive military depot where an endless stream of combat vehicles are not only stored, but also offered a second life.
quote:
Don Olson, Deputy Commander at the depot, stresses that the purpose of the facility is to fix up military vehicles and even uniforms and other supplies that have seen combat. More than $1 billion worth of clothing has been shipped to the facility, along with 26,000 vehicles.
“If it can still shoot, roll, or otherwise function, Don and his team take it into inventory, fix it up and ship it right back out to troops,” the video’s presenter explains.

If it's cheaper to give Ukraine tanks and missiles than it is to dispose of them then why doesn't Ukraine have 1000 M1 tanks and 1000s of missiles?

Because Biden is more worried about his next ice cream cone.

It took 2 years for Ukraine to get 31 Abrams tanks and a handful of F16's. There is a lack of will and spine.

The Biden Administration tried to give Ukraine just barely enough for their offensive, because they wanted Ukraine to retake the South, and then they were going to push for a ceasefire. They tried to micromanage the war.
Just insane hubris.
Just insane hubris.

More of a red herring since the total of amount given in cash was the point in question
I’m appalled we’ve given a penny in cash. But from our end, it’s all our cash

Do they have the F-16s in theater yet?

1. The depleted uranium armor on most of the stored tanks is so highly classified that we don’t export it. The military is having to go through the stockpiles and find tanks that don’t have it or remove it from tanks in storage and replace it with the foreign export armor.
2. The Ukrainians have not been able to spare the maintenance ppl to send them for the training needed for the M1A1. The ones that they have been able to send were former T80 technicians which they could spare because they have not been able to replace all of their T80s.
3. The Leopard 1A5s that Europe have provided to Ukraine were taken out of the junkyard and restored for less than it cost to scrap them. They don’t have composite or depleted uranium armor and it’s still cheaper to give to Ukraine.

I'm glad you've decided against perpetuating your fallacy, even though you can't come out and admit it.

From our end ("our" referring to those of us who actually pay taxes), the purchase of all equipment and other "fixed assets" transferred to Ukraine was accomplished in toto with our cash. What part of that FACT is unclear to you, facher?

Not expected before early next year and hopefully they are smart enough to not announce their arrival until after Russia finds out the hard way that they are there.
