Johnson might be against aid, but Speaker Johnson doesn't seem to be. I think I saw Johnson is proposing $70 B for Ukraine. It's the fault of We the People! We need to educate ourselves, not falling for the same faux outrage, the tired slogans, etc. Vote in a new breed of elected officials who possess integrity. And,.... change your elected officials on the same schedule as you change the antifreeze in your vehicle.
Good luck with the “educating ourselves” part. Left been in charge of public schools for 60+ years. Every year a new phalanx of leftists, sprinkled with a couple American kids, gets pumped into the arteries. We’ve been over the cliff for awhile now. Just waiting for us to smack into the bottom.
Responding to my own comment. If Johnson had stood tall and opposed money for Ukraine, they would've deposed him. I was pretty happy when we had no Speaker. The House was in paralysis and wasn't stealing from the Treasury.

So this $70B in Ukraine aid can be tied to the $80B for the Inflate Reduce Act - IRS.

Maybe that's what he should have done.
But he does want to send billions to Israel. Where's the win here?
Hi KLG. I don't think they are mutually exclusive. We need to be moving towards a situation where we don't spend money on EITHER of these options.
