“How about….NO!”
But come he needs that money for sharks with friggin' lasers on their heads 😂
Let Europe pick the bill this time
Sad thing is they have given him money too but it’s never enough for him or to even show us where the money is going!
Evropa is down....f....k up.thanks to usa
@@Susiecat24 It's going in his pocket with 10% for the Big Guy Joe.
@@Susiecat2470 % has come from the US. It’s not even 50/50.

Congratulations Congress! You adopted a grown man.
Lol
Zelensky sucks literally
Next he'll want us to fight his war 😤
Pathetic
A grown man in a widdle baby army costume.
Ever notice not a single country ever gives us money????
The most powerful economy in the entire world? We don’t need any
Yea, nobody ever gives us money!!
Well Japan did give money for Lahaina.
Umm we owe $900 billion to china
i know its crazy its like we give money to countries that need help and not those that are wealthy enough to give us money....
Game over dude. No more money to Ukraine
Too bad
No more. Congress should focus on the poverty here in the US
Oh stop.
Free basic housing, free food, and free education so people can get better jobs.
Totally agree to those, the government should do that.
Nothing in this world is free get a job buy your own food
Nope we need to give more or else Russia defeats Usa
@@lyricofwise6894sorry Azoz supporter, your propaganda isn't believable.
Using the US as his personal bank account 👏
Yeah and 🇺🇸 using Ukranian young men as cannon fodder
NEED TO LOOK AFTER OUR BORDER FIRST!
Are you afraid of the poor Venezuelan doing your landscaping??
@@michaelrichardson428 Are you saying only Venezuelan gardeners have come across the border? Are you seriously that brainwashed? You do realize people from all countries are coming through Joe's wide open border including Chinese nationals right, Cletus? See what your cult wants you to say and get back to me on that. 🤣🤡
Hey Congress. Enough is enough. Time to look at our own country for once.
totally agree 💯

Let me ask you, when enough is enough? Why are we okay with tax cuts for the rich? Do you remember the 7.6 Trillion dollar tax cut passed by the corrupt Trumpians?
@@imback7937👆💩🚽💩💩
America has provided more than enough in their war. More military aid than all of Europe combined actually. It’s time to take care of American citizens.
😃😅

Biden government he more to worry about , his son 😂 Mr Hunter 😂
agree
Fascist enabler.
We’ve already sent them $75 billion. It’s ridiculous.
I wonder how much money gets funneled back to Biden!!
Zelensky is escalating the war out of his own interest or his own agenda, the Israeli agenda. Ukraine will not lose territory because the territories that Zelensky wants Ukrainians to die for have always been Russian and Ukrainians never lived there and never desired to live there.
Minus 10% to the "Big Guy".
did you read a single bill? did you read a single bill and where the money goes?
Ya that's a hard NO from us. By us I mean the american citizens.
Corruption, everyone. Looks like this.
OMG! Go home and leave us alone! 🙄 No more money!
A majority of people could list the issues here at home that are in dire need of adressing, yet all we hear about is more foreign aid ...
More aid?????Americans need aid. WHO is going to support our Country? Omg. Mind blowing
Ukraine impacts every Americans future. What happens there sets the stage for future behavior of all of our adversaries and our stances sends a signal that they can’t get away with whatever they want
Every dollar spent there returns 10 fold because it weakens the position of nations who want to see us fall apart
You don't need more aid. Shut it
Hint: we have enough money for both issues
Billions for Ukraine, zero for Americans. 👍
When it all goes south in this country, which it will the way we’re headed, we’ll be on our own and our enemies will be emboldened
No more…. Enough is enough

No. He has a point. We're "stuck" with this responsibility. If they get no aid, Russia will overtake them easily and we'll experience the fallout from it.
@@abingham3747 Found the vatnik
No more money for these corrupt people. Let's take care of our own country already.

We’re so divided we’ll always be like sheep.
Taxes, the fine you pay for being a hardworking responsible citizen while watching politicians spend it to line their pockets because they have no one to answer to...
And that grown man appreciates all the billions of tax payers dollars you’ve put into his and his corrupt collection of friends bank accounts.
How about we tell the actor/ comedian that we will lend him 50 billion at 5% over 10 years, or we get some of his resources.
@You really think America is not gonna demand anything in return? Where in all of American history do America just does 💩 for free? America would probably demand territory to make a military base there just to keep an eye on Russia.
@@Kitsuragi556 And they never will
They also use it to buy votes. That's also why they want an open border. If most immigrants voted red, Biden would have the border guarded like Fort Knox.
Hold your own nuts Zelenskyy, you’ll be alright.
Meanwhile in the USA, education is on the decline, the housing market has become uninhabitable for most, and the healthcare system is taking advantage of every US citizen. We have offered support, but we need to try to fix our problems before attempting to solve those of others. [Tell me what to review next]
Free healthcare would be dope , I've been uninsured for well over half a year because I'm unable to pay for the bill, yet they'll still tax me at the end of the term for being unable to pay. Isn't america grand
Let me ask you, when enough is enough? Why are we okay with tax cuts for the rich? Do you remember the 7.6 Trillion dollar tax cut passed by the corrupt Trumpians?
@@guyman1570The tax cuts that resulted in an increase in government revenue?
Who can I reach out to, I've been homeless since January due to someone shooting up our home, they didn't rehouse me, no shelters no help, we have been homeless since, I have reached out to everyone, no one will listen. The hotels here that's affordable you can only stay for 28 days and u have to keep moving cause they don't want us to become residents. So imagine moving every 28 days, can't save to find a place because we pay 650 a week for my family of five. All we need is a long term place to live to call home again before winter and can't get nothing.
But...but...UKRAINE NEEDS MONEY!!!!11
We Americans sent 111 Billion?!! are y’all crazy!!!
We should send more
@@lyricofwise6894you should go over there and fight then.
10% for the Big Guy
It's way more than that!! It's over 200 billion and counting with zero receipts for any of our tax dollars!

NOT MUCH!!!

Well I'm still homeless I need help here , we can't even get help here, this stuff is crazy
american taxpayers say you should get an education
That's why Trump got voted out in 2020..
You'll do whatever we say understand?
this is a troll right?
Funny how the US can find money for this war, but can’t help their own people
I want his SSI number so i can start claiming him as a dependant !!
All americans should be able to claim ukranians as dependants
@@ShaneHackworth-em1qqthe Israelis also...they both are bleeding this hellhole dry.
Other NATO nations should step up first as they are closer to Russia than the US
Amen to that!
Regardless of proximity, other nato nations should step up and provide more aid
Ukraine is not in NATO!! NO MORE $$$$$!!
Hmmmm... I remember a certain former President saying that very same thing. What was his name? Donald something?
They have gotten so much aid at this point. They don’t need another penny. Or any other NATO penny. This is a scam at this point.
I want to see where every single penny got spent. Checks and balances. Taxation with representation Now!
He came all the way over here to cry like a baby for our money. Rotflmao
how dare he try to save his country from russian invasion, its not like russia is tyrannical state that controls its population through through fear and violence.... oh wait
This guy will not stop
Congress should take care of American citizens not some country where America will never get anything from except it's rejects and criminals
I agree. The United States should not support Russia.
@@KonaLife Or Ukraine.
But mostly Russia...If Trump was president he would've let his best friend Putin take over Ukraine and let the next president later deal with Russia when it's too late.
@Ukrainian__Patriot If they already won they wouldn't he at America's doorstep begging for more money.
Zelensky goes to Washington more than our Mayors and Governors. EVERY Prez preaches that same tired message - we have to be the example to the world of what democracy is. If they don’t know by now Forget it!! They keep asking for our tax money, because our stupid leaders give it away! Zelensky doesn’t care about America’s terrible massive problems, and neither does our politicians!
we dont care about your war leave us alone
Ukraine is fighting a rival nation of ours. And we don't have to do much other than help.
The enemy of our enemy is our friend .
@@tomgames8616 nah.
End this war already!
This might sound crazy but why don't we spend that money in our own country. The American ppl are struggling and this guy's wants to send them another 100 billion. Voting for him was one of my biggest mistakes in life.
Wait... Why are we okay with tax cuts for the rich? Do you remember the 7.6 Trillion dollar tax cut passed by the corrupt Trumpians?
Too late for buyers remorse. Your one of the "81" million who wanted this. Thanks for your part of dragging my country down.
How does a county 34T in debt afford to give 100s of billions to other countries?
France went into debt causing french revolution funding American revolution.
more aid means more inflation.
Only somebody uneducated thinks that that is the cause of inflation
The well is dry. And I feel the way this is bundled is dishonest
I watched the live and Zelensky referred to Biden as The Big Guy.😂
The "war" is nothing but a financial scam.
So he wants to embezzle more aid? 🙄
He needs another yacht and his wife wants another $40,000 shopping spree!
Exactly
Sean Hannity wants another yacht?
Strange since he doesn’t have a yacht and the claims he bought any were completely fabricated by Russian sources
@Stix_n_Stones418 who cares. he's already received billions in aid. enough of this nonsense!
@@TRod5940that’s not how war works
No more!!!!!!!shouldn't have received a penny of our hard earned money. It goes right in his pockets
I wonder how rich zelensky is gonna be after all of this is over.
We’re not the worlds bank. Secure our border, fix the housing market, get credit rates down lower, get insurance under control then we can help others. We gave Ukraine a ton of aide and I wish them the best but it’s too much.
Biden needs more kickbacks.
10% adds up to a lot of money for Sleepy.
has nothing to do with biden, seems like he lives in your head rent free
Hunter needs $$$ to pay his way out of prison as soon as he arrives there in a limousine with taxfunded security crew.
Biden needs a kick in the a..😂
lol Q-anon still running strong I see
I’m tired of paying taxes for corrupt politicians and governments while I’m having a hard time paying for food.
That will be a hard NO, take care of the US taxpayers. Crazy how they find money to aid war that has no business of the US (to a degree). Take care of our veterans, children with special needs, mental illness and medication for the elderly on budget.
And homeless
What about the 7.6 Trillion dollar tax cut passed by the corrupt Trumpians?
@@user-pb1ic7pi9c absolutely
I’m sure our 4.5 trillion dollar budget will be fine, and plus have military treaties with Ukraine since the 1990s for supporting with military aid so unless you think we should tear up our global credibility every time the left supports something it should probably be honored
How much is Zelensky personally worth? I wouldn't be surprised if it's billions and laughing all the way to the bank.
End all funding to Ukraine and Israel
To Ukraine absolutely yes, to Israel no because we have an agreement with them and they are part of NATO
@@USAneedsGODwho cares what they’re a part of? They’re slaughtering innocent people and corrupting our own government with their lobbies. Cut funding for BOTH
@@USAneedsGOD Israel is not part of nato
Funding a genocide is a bad idea
@@USAneedsGODwe have an agreement with Ukraine not Israel
We need to start worrying about our country first.
Congress isn’t divided about more Ukraine aid! Just secure the borders first and enforce existing laws. Do that, then talk about more Ukraine aid.
Never in our lifetime again will we hear an American President care more about two other borders besides his own.
Because Biden is the last president before dictator Trump?
The 🤡before Biden. Dump
Never say never
What brilliant new immigration policies do Republicans in congress have?
Nothing more what is wrong with our government vote them out
The problem is we vote, and these corrupt politicians rig the votes and get there way!

@@lyricofwise6894Or else what? Russia isn't going to attack the United States.
@chelsbreann Do you remember that Trump signed a 7.6 Trillion tax cut that went only to the rich?
Maybe if Hunter had paid his fair share we'd have some extra but nope. Piggy bank is empty. No more 10% for the Big Guy.
Wow, I just came to check that the comments were blocked, big surprise for me that free speech and opinion is bestowed upon us peasants.
TH-cam is now blacklisting comments. They have an Ai bot that can detect your comments.
We need to concentrate on the U.S. borders, and stop letting our current government launder money in Ukraine!!!
Exactly why we need either Trump Vivek or desantis
Except our aid is conditional on them firing dozens of their top officials for embezzling funds? They’ve already purged a lot of corrupt politicians because we said we wouldn’t give them anything if they stayed
This is funny, they are calling, Javier Milei the South American Trump!!! That is a beautiful thing, it shows normal people are starting to stick up for themselves and not letting 5% of the population decide , what the rest of the world is supposed to think!!!!!
They have to be getting kick backs from this

U.S. budget deficit widens to $314 billion in November: The numbers: The U.S. federal budget deficit widened to $314 billion in November, up from $249 billion in the same month last year, the Treasury Department said Tuesday. For the first two months of the fiscal year, the deficit widened to $381 billion, up from $336 billion in the same period last year. Key details: In November, government receipts rose, but spending increased at a faster pace, the department said.
Receipts were up $23 billion to $275 billion from a year ago, while outlays rose $88 billion to $589 billion.
Interest on the federal debt was $66.3 billion higher over the first two months of the fiscal year than in the same period a year earlier. The Federal Reserve's rapid increase in interest rates is leading to higher interest payments.
Net interest costs hit $659 billion in the last fiscal year, having nearly doubled in three years.
The deficit for all of fiscal year 2023, which ended on Sept. 30, was $1.7 trillion. Experts project the size of the deficit to remain close to $2 trillion per year for the next decade, if no legislative changes are enacted.
Hmm, what about the 7.6 Trillion dollar tax cut passed by the corrupt Trumpians?
