Tiberius Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 This guy is such an attention starved putz he will literally put lives on the line, slowing down much needed aid to a nation being threatened with total destruction. Quote (CNN)In a rare showing of public unity, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Republican Leader Mitch McConnell took to the Senate floor to press for quick passage of a $40 billion aid bill for Ukraine but were blocked by GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky who is demanding changes to the legislation. https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/12/politics/rand-paul-blocks-ukraine-aid/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanNC Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 That Rand Paul sure is a far right nut case. How dare he ask for oversight on spending $40 billion! I mean that might prevent the Big Guy getting his 10% 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s threatening our own national security, and it’s frankly a slap in the face to millions of taxpayers who are struggling to buy gas, groceries, and find baby formula. ?

Options I'm certain that both of these posts address in detail why that it's a bad idea to request oversight on spending $40 billion of taxpayer dollars.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I expected this hand waiving to be about him blocking the aid because Ukraine is not our problem, but even the CNN article said Quote The change Paul is seeking would create a special inspector general to oversee how the Ukraine military aid is spent. Members from both parties broadly agree with that notion, but forcing a change to the bill at this stage would be very time consuming and would slow getting the needed aid to Ukraine. it’s very time consuming to make sure someone is accountable for the spending? WTF is wrong with these people? Why isn’t that a hard requirement of any new spending bill???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving weapons of war to a country that has had many issues with corruption while not having oversight is a threat to national security. People are pissed off because we keep spending money like drunken sailors while inflation is going wild. People are pissed because the government is bending over backwards to help Ukraine, but are slow as hell to address the formula shortage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Tim Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 This status quo stuff needs to end, we either get fully involved or we get out. The chances of Ukraine winning without intervention is very small and at that point our weapons get turned against us. Sending $40 billion without oversight is the most political answer to what is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
