He's stating there is not enough money allocated and money that was used in Ukraine could have been money allocated for OUR OWN states.
And the point is that what money was allocated to Ukraine has no impact on DHS, and nobody has ever shown this impact.

Yes, it is. Show me the last federal budget. It will be written down

Find me the last budget, then. Prove to me this comprehensive budget has existed recently by pointing to the Congressional act and Presidential signature approving it.

Slow isn't sensible. He knows damn well what is being stated and he just gets his rocks off on being a douche.

Our federal government and its spending do not exist in a reality where "the same amount of money exists", so that's a bad standard.
Again, you just keep showing the conflation by using bad framing.
Wrong.

You need to cut spending.
And $150B is a rounding error on that issue.
As I already stated in this thread, that's 1.25 months (or so) of SS outlays.

You just proved my point.
Just as growing our GDP won't get us out of this debt situation, looking at microtransactions like the money going to Ukraine won't, either.
That's exactly why pointing out this partisan conflation is important.
It's a political diversion to detract from the real conversation.

Continuing resolutions are not a budget.
Our last true budget was probably in 1996. Almost 30 years ago.

What gets allocated indicates priority and focus.
Priority? No. DHS getting its usual amount indicates it's a normal part of our federal government and needs to be handled normally.
Focus? Sure you could describe it that way. When some externality like Ukraine (or the pandemic) happens, they will respond with specific responses. If you want to call that focus, that's fine.

I will bet you $100 (pick the escrow holder) the feds spend a shite ton of money on these domestic issues. Over $1B.
OMG, a whole billion! Are you sure the Ukrainian midget can spare us some of our own tax money to help Americans? How about Kamala give the good people of Tennessee and North Carolina some of the billions she's given criminal migrants.

All budgets come from the same place, our wallets. Do you comment to antagonize or because you actually believe what you are saying? Not sure which is worse. Don’t bother responding. I generally quit reading these after your input.

That's a funding bill, not a budget.
It didn't even fund the government for a full year.

Cutting Homeland Security will also not make a dent in our spending issue.
