This week, the House voted to put America Last by passing a $40 BILLION aid package for Ukraine.
While Putin is clearly to be condemned for his invasion, America’s involvement in supporting Ukraine should be more carefully considered than a blank check with no accountability or oversight––particularly when Americans are dealing with so many problems at home.
On Thursday, Senator Rand Paul took a principled stand and refused to allow the Senate to quickly move onto consideration of the bill unless they added language to create oversight of the spending. Paul proposed expanding an Afghanistan inspector general role to include oversight of the Ukraine funds.
Leader Schumer refused to change the bill and meet Paul’s request, and so now the Senate will have to wait till next week to vote on it.
