The last 40 billion sent to Ukraine would have been enough to get all US citizens out of homelessness. If you’re going to print endless cash and fuck our economy, at least spend it on taking care of problems on home soil first.
Only 10% of the 61 billion goes to Ukraine.
Read the Bill pal.👍🏻
I think you need to take into account that most "homeless" people are drug addicted and/or mentally ill and are there by choice that is protected by the ACLU. It isn't a money problem.
What a hollow and insincere argument. You have never once wanted anybody to do anything to help Americans. Only now that we are spending money to fight Putin do you pretend like you would want money to do anything to help people. Go play in traffic, Ivan.
Put your mouth where your money is. You don't vote for it, it won't happen, and you know which side despises helping the homeless.
Only 10% of the 61 billion goes to Ukraine, the rest goes back into the US Military Industrial Complex.
Nobody wants to hear this RINO!
lol, I just love you guys. The man is a pure capitalist. A proven small government man. And on top of that, one of the most intelligent GOP politicians in decades. And because he is so much smarter than little Donnie, and actually has integrity and principles that he stands by, he is a RINO. lol, you people literally stand for nothing.
check his earnings from his private investment fund. 😂😂
Stop taking our farmland !!!!!!!!
And in Africa too **for John Kerry and Leo Decaprio’s carbon offset virtue signaling**
Why does america have to babysit other countries put America first
1:19
international companies have drilling rights in certain parts of Ukraine.
YOU bureaucrats DON’T “get people out of poverty”... They do, and you thinking YOU do, puts more exponentially there.. Holy Eff!
IMO
The 53 Nations of The Continent of Africa,
now Independent Countries
from The Belgium, British, French etc Empires
have had decades to govern their respective
countries in a responsible manner.
YET
80+% of them appear to be totally dependent on
INTERNATIONAL AID
from MANY countries.
Is it a case
"The MORE "WE" financially support them
the MORE disinclined they are to
HELP themselves OUT of poverty ?
You didnt watch the video. They are talking about US giving money for food to other countries.
@@FunnyBunny-pd5xxYou’re “opinion” is 100% factual, good job. Especially if you study the global climate cult elitist’s “plan” that PAY their bureaucrats (so called) NOT to develop their societies, as well as confiscate and offer up their citizen’s potential farm land for rich western billionaires to virtue signal “carbon offset” planting so they feel absolved in their private jets, limos, mansions, yachts.. (Orwell is here but now on steroids)
@@DemolitionManDemolishesread my exchange with the first respondent. (And you’ll understand why the comments by those informed of these scams, using OUR taxpayer dollars, by western bureaucrats. (Feel free to counter or challenge AFTER understanding the issue and debate being addressed)
And if they took a major pay cut, they could help more citizens with OUR OWN taxpayer money! But they don't want to live with less money like we do. BS!! 😠🔥
Only you have lots of money for Ukraine?
Report
Quit lining your pockets Mitch!
Amen to that!! It would take a fool,to not see what’s going on!
America comes First, we shouldn't be worried about other countries.
A start would be to stop war funding, Mitt. And to focus and plan for the lives of those paying tax dollars. I can't believe he actually said that out loud.
Borrowing to help unappreciative nations, exponentially increased US debt.
Migrant care spending is as out of control as immigration is.
@@federalistpapers4523 Idiocy. Undocumented migrants generate 2 1/2 times more economic value than they cost.
@@federalistpapers4523 reminder: they are Illegai Immigrants as listed in the Laws.
Money for wars. No money for food.
Unfortunately, the issue has never been “lifting people out of poverty”. It’s always been about creating and maintaining a dependent power base.
Mitt is a big lier
What did he lie about? Everything he said makes perfect sense.
@@DemolitionManDemolisheshe’s been caught many times before. And he often says one thing in public and does the opposite in the back room. He’s a known global socialist
Dems do not want to explain themselves
@viettung1255 And he is a big liar also.
Bain Capital, 1984 -
No because you giving it all to Ukraine right. Then you get kick backs right
Of course there's enough money but it's all about priorities
As they just voted for a 100 billion (added to the other countless times) to send to foreign nations and foreign nationals.
It takes 35 years to count to 1 billion...all they do is spend with no consequences...inflation and devalues the dollar.Taxpayers just are at their mercy..
@@teresaellis895🎯 Can’t add anything to that! Awesome, thx!
ADD.... that to the Taxpayer's money from
Australia
The European Union - as an Institution.
ALL 27 EU Member States - who respectively have GIVEN.
NATO Member States
Japan .... and more.. !
America last
That was said by a DEMORAT during or just after the election interference in 2020.
How many socialist/communist are in this ADMIN ISTRATION?
Get that ring out of office
Get the government out of the economy and go get real jobs.
But for war
there's plenty of money!
Just not for our people!
That money is actually for American people who work on weapons production, so you are wrong
Help American people BEFORE those abroad or illegally here!!
We DO have enough money!! STOP sending money to Ukraine...
listen to the G#@MO detainee tell it! WAKE UP AMERICA!
No one can solve the World's problems. They have to think it out, write it down, start with what they have, then build on it.
A establishment Republican is the Same as a Democrat.
It's easy Mitt, YOU and every Senator and Congressman should put america first and if we have anything left over we consider it.
The answer to that question should scare people because the answer is, there is no answer. She said a lot of things but answered nothing
So she said we have a certain amount for this disease and that disease, yet they have any abundance to send to ukrain...no limit on that!
Sorry! After Illegals and Ukraine, there is just no money left for American poor citizens!
But got enough money to send to ukraine
🥴🥸🙂
If America woke up earlier and acted accordingly to the Russian aggression in 2014 we wouldn't have today's wars. If you fail to act now it will be an even bigger problem tomorrow.
And Israel don’t forget about IDF
@@turtleislandniiji8261you know, I’m not even for that BUT, we have a boomerang trade deal with Israel that all our aid is lined itemized by them, in RETURN trade contracts including sharing technology and defense weaponry.. (goes down a sinkhole with ALL other nations we just throw OUR money too). At least an argument can be made with Israel aid/US partnerships.
Who cares what Rhino Romney has to say????
No money? It seems like we have plenty of money to send 95 billion to Ukraine.
Not enough money to be giving to foreign countries 😢
This is why we're 34 trillion in debt.
Loans + USURY + Compound interest
Over 5 Trillion Dollars that is the Cost of Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Had we spent that much money to rebuilt America's Manufacturing Industry then that would have Benefitted Millions of Working Class American People.
Anyone who thinks it's money that gets people out of poverty is part of the poverty problem. It's productive and fulfilling work that gets people out of poverty.
Their priority is to line their own pockets while increasing their political power.
Think for yourself instead of pushing stereotypical Democrat/Liberal comments. You basically said the Conservative equivalent to: "Dirty Hippie"
@@evelynclover6366 I have no clue what your comment means. Do you?
Somebody go wake Biden up and tell him his time is done we need somebody in there who knows what they're doing.
You got 94 billion for Israel and Ukraine. The American people are just not buying it any more.
I feel like 90% of people here didnt even watch the video, they just read the headline. It's not about what you think it is.
Tax the rich instead of giving them huge tax breaks for years while the poor don’t have enough to eat…🤨
You must be talking about the Democrat’s S.A.L.T tax breaks where poor national -taxpayers flip the bill for tax breaks for billionaires and millionaires in heavily taxed blue states?
The rich pay far more than their fair share already. A better idea in the immediate is to stop sending all of this money to Ukraine. An endless war that they can never win. The problem then is that we would have to get new voters somehow that would quit voting in a bunch of war mongers all of the time.
Did you know that farmers are only allowed to bring so much products to market, and they have to destroy the rest. And with all the hungry, government is destroying food.
@@NHLblkgurl No, blue states fund red states on the whole.
America and Americans should come FIRST!!
NOT OTHER COUNTRIES.
American money SHOULD STAY IN AMERICA!!
Great example of speaking alot of words and having nothing of use to say.
Congress priorities are send most money to other countries, As Pence said,America isn't his problem.
Now he acts like he sees the light. He’s a RINO
Spend our money on America 🇺🇸 not government corruption 😢
He’s right. Its a geopolitical problem dependent on culture and politics. The solutions inevitably have to come from the locals.
close the freaking border and take xare of America first, and stop supporting other countries...
More bs
The establishment talking piece saying we cant so it. Thats un American, what a failure of man
There will always be poor people, there is in every country. The amount of people in and the depth of poverty in a country this rich is what's unconscionable.
America and Americans First 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Waste of breath. Empty words.
This RINO raided pension funds
Romney go home 😢
Stop The Climate Change Crap, Mitt!
Migration hasn't a dang thing to do with the climate. The places the migrates left, still has people LIVING LIFE every day there.
What about helping Americans
But you have enough money to pay your salary!
How do they decide? Easy answer. It goes to where they are willing to pay the kickbacks.
Obiden gave all of our money away! Thanks joe blow!
How about just getting out of citizens’ business? Remove the massive restrictions on citizens? Small businesses are burdened with federal BS.
I would love to have an unlimited bank account like the USA,
Gee, "long games" that never bare fruit are called grifts...
Starvation because of climat change? Wrf?
Quit with the ear marks and sending American taxpayers money to Ukraine
Mitt RINO Romney is a seriously weak man.
I guess this is what happens when you read that joe smith book.
Cut defense by 5% and we get rid of poverty in the United States.
We need more co2 if anything. It allows plants to grow more food while using less water.
Science illiteracy alert.
@@astronautical1082 How do you think plants work? Ever visited a greenhouse business?
You start at home!
How can you give cash when they don't have any cash in the Treasury we printed tons❤ but that's not real cash
All she is saying is Bla Bla Bla.
Sail one of your jets mitt and help feed the homeless
With half the billions we've given to ukrain and them who cannot be spoken ill of, we could've ended poverty and homelessness in this country as well as closed the border.
It's not about money.
It's about fair trade, continued education, hands up,
its about living well.
Those rich people think that they can buy anything, they think they can buy life.
If they could actually be really kind and fair to everyone, and if they chose to share what they've been given, this would help.
Poverty isn't about how much money you have, anyway, poverty is about not living well.
Wealth is more than cash.
We need more REAL people willing to work in the House and Senate. Not figurines 🥴 .
How about M.A.G.A.
Mittens tryimg to be relevant he's NOT!!!
Oh yeah and when all these damn companies and all these damn states keep doing studies and paying for studies and got to do a study on and study that's a waste of money when you have to do it that much
Technology and resources can. Overpriced rent, unemployment, and living standards cause poverty .
The only way is to make jobs and the money that comes from that to the workers is how you solve the problems!!!
Whatever AIPAC tells them to say. 💰 💰 💰
Call in the pink unicorns for visual inspiration , Samantha
This is hard to believe these congress people and administrations are so stupid.
Should have supported TRUMP when You had the Chance..Romney,No longer welcomed in Republican Conservative Christian Circles..
....right...$95billion for foreigners...not enough for US...kickbacks much?
Dont you guys understand that my future is out there if we do not get president Trump back in the white house my future isn't going to be safe
The WORLD HAS ENOUGH MONEY:)
WE live in a world of PLENTY.
It’s not our responsibility to fix the world’s problems if we cannot fix our own.
Mittens Romney can't wait for November so this Rino leaves
"They got money for wars, but can't feed the poor." -Tupc Shakur
Meanwhile Mitt lives in a mansion
What are the biggest problems with this huge jump in minimum wage there's a reason why McDonald's and some of these things are called starter jobs because they pay low gets you to the mindset of a wanting to get to a better job be having something to work to start getting ethical a work history
People don't need gov money, all they need is less regulations, better trade, less tax, cheap energy price.
Hey Mitt, how did our economy get so low 15% oh i forgot that is how the politicians have their money!
FMR
Mitt is a thief and she's also a thief
What a sxxt show, so Mitt, if we got back all money from all countries all around the world and given just in this year, would that be enough to make every CITIZEN in the US solvent or debt free, asking for a friend, just say'n!
Too much money and resources on the administration side
It's time to "intervene" in America! We should be making EVERYTHING right here in America for Americans so that we all have jobs and can then help feed the rest of the world.
👍❤️
