[QUOTE="SimplyMe, post: 77656906, member: 9588"] I'm curious, what do you think he should do about poverty? We already spend billions on welfare and the Inflation Reduction Act of Biden's gave even more to try and help the poor. What specific programs do you think would help -- particularly that Congress would approve? For example, I think we need single payer health care and that it would greatly help the poor. The issue is, there is no way that is getting through Congress (even the Senate) anytime soon. Congress blocked Biden's bill that would have done just that. You do realize that 90% of the Ukraine spending is spent in the US -- that money directly helps US Citizens by providing jobs and putting more money into the economy. Aircraft aren't really what Ukraine needs, though they could likely use a few more F-16s (which we would then replace with F-35s for our Air Force. We don't send our best weaponry to foreign countries, as a general rule -- what we sell (even if current generation) none of the cutting edge tech, that we reserve for the US Armed Forces. With Ukraine, this is doubly true since we don't want our best technology to end up in Russian hands. The biggest thing Ukraine currently needs is things like artillery shells, missiles, and possibly more armored vehicles (to include mine sweepers). I've been saying this for at least a year. [/QUOTE]
