President Joe Biden goes into next year’s election with a vexing challenge: Just as the U.S. economy is getting stronger, people are still feeling horrible about it.
The big priorities for Biden seem to be making up ways to get more of our money dumped into Ukraine
We are not sending pallets of cash to Ukraine. The money is buying arms and equipment that is being sent to Ukraine. The arms and equipment are produced here, in the US. The VAST majority of the money is going into the US economy. It’s literally creating good paying jobs here in the US.

It’s the same thing.

No, it isn’t, because our government doesn’t mandate a living wage nor regulate the prices of war materials, and in fact, there’s been extensive reporting on price gouging in the war industry.
Further, the latest batch of Ukraine spending was funded by cutting funds to the IRS, so we’re not only losing money now, but in the future too.
Also, frankly, I’m sick of hearing these excuses decade after decade from warmongers and their supporters.
You have proved without doubt that your opinions on important matters are meaningless. Your first few comments were indicative, but this is just irrefutable proof.
I should lower my expectations when we give Democrats the majority in Congress and the presidency, because nothing they promised is going to happen. And even though they have plenty of power to make meaningful change, it’s always going to be the Republicans’ fault that they didn’t.
After that you can move on to current events and political news so maybe you can grok why your belief that Democrats “have plenty of power to make meaningful change” is so laughable.
I wont get my hopes up though. Best wishes from BC.

That’s factually untrue. The IRS has not been defunded; but House Republicans have been in such disarray that currently no government agency is getting more funding.
It’s been the Republicans demanding the cuts; not the Democrats, who would rather spend money so that we can fund everything important appropriately so that real recovery from the pandemic is felt by the people.
The Republicans are demanding we reduce our debt at a time where that’s just not practical and are holding our budget hostage so much that our credit is being slashed.
The Republicans have been disrupting the financial state of the country. They caused the ding on our credit. They have consistently refused to compromise throughout this entire session of Congress.

Yes we are, just not only that.

Yeah, blame the republicans for that one.
You may not like what is being produced, but the jobs producing arms are good paying.
For sure. It never should have been privatized.
LOL
The rallying cry of cognitive dissonance.

You’re right.

You should probably learn the difference between the House of Representatives and the Senate and what their respective jobs are before embarrassing yourself in a public forum.

If only people could eat excuses for why Democrats don’t wield power when they have it. Student lunch debt would no longer exist.

Two words: Davis Bacon
Davis-Bacon has a very limited scope – it doesn’t apply to the entire workforce.
