Congress has a whole lot to tackle before we break for the holidays.
At the top of our to-do list is a package for BILLIONS in aid to folks all over the dadgum world, admittedly many of whom do need our help. But I won’t vote to send tens of billions of dollars to a corrupt country like Ukraine when we’re nearly $34 trillion in the hole, and we’ve got a full-fledged crisis unfolding at our own border.
This has been a long time coming, and as the lawlessness at our southern border rages on, it's plain as day that we're dealing with a real-deal emergency. We've got a record number of people streaming in through Biden’s wide-open gates, and word from our Border Patrol agents in the thick of it is that a good many are on the terror watch list.
Where in the world are our priorities, folks?
I still remember when President Trump was told the price tag to build a wall would break us. Yet here we are throwing more money at Ukraine after we’ve already sent them a whopping 114 billion unchecked dollars. There are no receipts for this Ukraine funding, and this isn’t a game of Monopoly—it’s your hard-earned money at stake.
Our friends and allies in Israel desperately need us right now.
Our border deserves immediate intervention.
These items are worthy of our spending, and even though I’m going to sound like a broken record here, they’re good enough to be separate bills.
Once again, I'm downright fed up with Democrats hitching these matters to Ukraine, just to keep the wheels of corruption turning. All of you back home have made your stance crystal clear: the Ukraine gravy train must stop immediately, and I want to honor you by putting my foot down.
We’ve got our hands full as we try to wrangle all this next week, but here’s to hoping we come out on the other side with a constructive plan and some fiscal responsibility.
