US President Biden sends another 1.7 Billion dollars to Ukraine as aide, but were in a huge inflation. How does this make you feel?

[Anonymous]

President Biden has just approved another 1.7 Billion to be sent over to Ukraine, not to mention a few weeks ago he just sent over a billion US dollars and before that he has sent billions to Ukraine.

More money to Ukraine.

With all the resources & money. Biden has been giving away to other countries, why are we still in HIGH inflation? How does this make you feel?

The money's still being printed, that's why. And the big cause of inflation was the huge budget deficits the government ran at the behest of the ever-malevolent World Economic Forum (like the over three trillion dollar deficit ran in 2020).

Exactly how much real cash has been sent over versus cost in $’s of already manufactured military weapons and systems.

If country sends a billion in military aid, but that billion is made of of 10 helicopters, 30 MRLS, 20 AFV’s, associated spares and ammunition.

Does that actually mean it could be converted into real cash internally and used any place?

also when talking about military equipment numbers almost become pointless, as some of the numbers used are the original costs of a weapon system, the cost of which includes it’s through life costs and maintenance.

Democrats want to support Ukrainian Nazis. That's their base.

Illegal aliens cost taxpayers 50 Billion dollars a year. Nobody seems to care about that.

A billion is actually small change. But yeah Biden should be tackling inflation and high energy prices

The biggest cause of inflation is currently the war in Ukraine so in theory ending it quicker should bring down inflation.

We’ve been in a consistent upward trend since Oct 2021. We were at almost 8% when the invasion of Ukraine started. We haven’t even felt the economic damage from that yet.
Also there is no end to the war that puts us back to where we were before. That ship has sailed.

If you want to be really technical decades of basically free money issued by the FED has been the cause of inflation. Republicans and Democrats have kept interest rates so low that corporations were able to borrow money for basically free. And flood our economy
