Right here, what?
I hope you're not saying that statement is me promoting deficit spending, because I never did
Stating that Ukraine money being irrelevant to money related to disaster response offers no comment on my personal feelings about either.

It isn't irrelevant dumbass.

Exactly. And this is why Elon Musk should be given the job and power to oversee and rebuild the infrastructure of America. That alone would get him a big statue in a prominent historical venue.

THIS is a much better argument than trying to link money going to Ukraine as preventing investment in infrastructure, generally.
The Dem agenda doesn’t cater to the auto industry, and they push alternate fuels instead of carbon or nuclear.
That’s the fact of the matter. Their infrastructure plans do not cover what most of us desire.

What budget are you referencing?

And what amount of FEMA funding was lost due to this?
The amount sent to Ukraine.
Why would more be sent to Ukraine than be set aside for fema or border security?
Maybe you don’t have a problem with that, but half the country does.

Then describe how Ukraine money deprived fedgov from infrastructure spending, specifically.

Because federal spending is broken.

The one the government doesn’t follow because it is irresponsible with the belief system that you have. “Just print moar money! It’s all make believe anyway!”
Just because the government likes to ignore reality doesn’t change reality.

People need to understand, we don’t have a finite amount of money. We spend what we want to spend on things we want to spend it on.

LINK?
Tying spending to pass a bill as a political mechanism doesn't mean that you deprived the popular agency from money. You'll have to show work on this one from a real outlet.

Why do you think there is a relation between the 2 spending programs/policies?

I've offered no personal opinions on any policy ITT

Indeed.

Sure, and that makes the "one pot" argument silly. That's the point.

So no budget and no "one pot" actually exists in reality, correct?

Potentially ironic

Thanks for demonstrating you have exactly zero grasp on the concept of monetary supply and demand…

When has all this spending deprived the federal government form throwing out trillions domestically for "every fricking disaster" (to use your language)?
"This spending" means money sent to Ukraine (it was directly referential the first time posted, so the clarification is possibly necessary now).

So that money went to Ukraine and not to some project in the US, correct?
How hard is that to understand?
Your "infinite" budget argument you got going here is retarded.
