Reply to comment by whimsicallywistful in Spending bill secures funds for Native American health care. Access to health care for Native Americans across the U.S. will be bolstered with funding included in a government spending bill approved by Congress. by Sariel007

Not republican, and not against that. Against it being rammed through at the absolute last minute, and the billions going to very very strange things that won’t benefit many Americans at all.

It was "rammed through at the last minute" because Republicans kept pushing for short incremental authorizations as they kicked the can down the road.

I assume you meant the aid going to Ukraine when you said "billions going to very very strange things"? Those benefit Americans by extending the influence of the USA and increasing USA standing in the world after DT trashed it, and all the contracts for the mic means more jobs, more taxes, more revenue, more growth. Have you noticed that the USA is the one faring the best in this recession? Ukraine is an easy spending, vs a bunch of 50 each pulling in different directions. If you want to know why the fed don't directly invest the billions in the USA instead, that's why.

So you think helping a country beat the shit out of Russia has zero benefit to the US?
