We have sent enough to Ukraine,
Way too much !
US citizens need that money.
Citizen are slaves. Money is for American
Money is a man made idea that's not even needed...
@@MrTheguywiththemoney Money is needed. Why would I work, and contribute to society, if I didn't expect to get something in return, like money? What kind of moron provides their labor, and services for others without without expecting some kind of reward for it, like money? Am I supposed to help people, and provide them my labor, and services for free? Where does it say that? That's just plain stupid.
@@HobbiesRfun what if you got whatever (within reason) you wanted as long as you work...
@@MrTheguywiththemoney What if you work and get paid below the livable networth? oh nevermind thats happening right now in America.
Thank you Sir for speaking for We The People! 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
He always talks sense.
Love how he interrogates Dr.Fauci.
Love this man Rand Paul I wish we had someone like him in Australia.
Rand Paul M.D. is a hero of the Republic. He has the scars of battle. 🇺🇲
A lot of talk.
Thank you Senator Rand Paul!! Cheers from Northern California!!
Unfortunately it's a hell of a lot more than 40 billion
I do like the way Senator Rand Paul breaks it down..
He would make a great President.
He loves America he is protective towards America.
it 's not you money to give away ....( AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS ) GET IT ....GIVE AWAY YOUR OWN FORTUNES IF YOU WANT
They've been stealing from the taxpayers for so long it's become their way of life.
How is debt even legal for the government??
@@backofthedime9445 At this point it will surely affect your great grandchildren, and beyond.
Its is lend lease. They will pay it back just like Soviet Union and Great Britain had to do after ww2.
@@backofthedime9445 I used to think my username was funny. Now I worry it might be prophetic.
you have no idea how debt works
Americans can use that money for housing and food.
its too late..........
It would only make the inflation worsenif you gave these money to US citisens.
@@swedmiroswedmiro1352 Then the best way to slow inflation would be stop government spending.
@@swedmiroswedmiro1352 The money has already been printed and in curculation. How would it be worse to have allocated those funds to social programs?
@@jaycee6063 These money wont be printed. It is a budgetary number that has been set by congress. Ukraine can use it to ahop weapons they need. The weapons will be sent from the US forces warehouses and then the money will be used to buy replacements for the warehouses. This is how the overwhelming part of these money will be used.
Printed???? Are you a time traveller from 1834?
He gets how it works, how work and economics work.. real talkers always. Thank you, the deep honest data and reality..
Yes, our Lieocracy provides us with an E-CON-NO-ME.
@@2DanTube E-CON--N--O--ME :)~
He’s savvy but this is also why we can’t afford a hospital visit
@@leekleek1 A National Health Care & Supplemental Social Security Lottery - would provide health care for all and no more fixed income for retirees - with no additional tax burden nor socialism - pure capitalism paying for health care and needed supplemental income for retirees.
@@will-ob7pr YES - and some economists proclaim inflation is at 21% while the government claims only 9% - I think this is because they got 12% of it crammed up our ass and all they see is the 9% hanging out.
Rand Paul is the only politician I trust.
Rand Paul 2024!
You're paying money for someone else to create money....
...which makes your money worth less, then you have to give them more money to create money... repeat cycle
So smart leader Dr.rand pol
We can’t even trust someone isn’t embezzling these funds also we’re suffering from the consequences of over spending currently
#RandPaul 2024 #AuditTheFed ✌️
Not many truth speakers in Washington, would love to see him on a ticket.
Yea Senator Rand Paul!
Why are pragmatic people so rare???
Inflation is going up due to MASSIVE government spending!!! We don't need to be sending OUR taxpayer dollars (both present and future taxes) to other countries!
It's also caused by fuel prices. Anytime the cost of fuel rises, so does everything else.
The entire world has inflation, not just the US.. Know what forget it. I shouldn't bother
We could send 40 trillion, it wouldn't win the war.
Finally someone said it! 👏
I have 40 billion reasons to NOT send any of the American tax dollars to Ukraine.
I'm not getting any of it. I pay taxes and I don't even get to have any of the benefits. I oppose spending any money until they stop taking a percent of my money
Sounds fair. Check what your representatives are voting for.
Unless you're a sole proprietor ship; tax shall be laid.
The SP is vulnerable to law suit, but need not pay tax.
The LLC is protected from lawsuit, but shall pay tax.
Oh ya while I just dealt with a business that has basically hit the floor because of the inflation of everything from gas, materials. And food.
Great 👍, stop sending them money 💰, help the American people to get lower gas ⛽️ and food prices
The gas price in US is not dependant on Russian gas. Russia sells to europe. You have to look at american oul and gas companies, they have raised the price.
@@swedmiroswedmiro1352 After the current administration said stop being energy independent.
The great state of Kentucky should be proud of Senators Paul and McConnell. 🇺🇲
I want to give a shout out to the good people of Paris, Kentucky.
look after your own first..
It seems like most of the world despises the US. This is confusing because we help so many but I think most countries always want to take the big dog down. The guy with the most money isn’t necessarily the winner in the end.
Never understood why we give money to countries that hate us. Let them hate us for free.
the US buys allies with money, weapons, food, they are good for now Allies who follow the money, like China is doing in Africa and also Russia buying Allies
Yes the US dollar will no longer be the base currency. The Great Reset. No one trust Biden and the US sanctions. Why should they. The world knows that Americ has a compromised leader. America is loosing the modern day war. Collapse of the US and many other economies are coming.
Come , on !
We LOVE Americans but we despise your warmongering and bullying governments
If you think the US gov is helping the world , please review kick the propaganda out and learn history
Love from France
Nixon tried price control, totally failed
Same with J. Stalin
No low gas prices. No American car.
When they ,if ever they lower the debt the stock market will drop like a rock . But you will get a generous interest rate in CDs and savings accounts if they never start to lower the debt the USA is finished with one unforseen event Those who are saving metals will have some thing
Agreed...common sense is not cultivated in the white house these days.
Don't get us nuke
I'm tired of the United States paying a price every time other countries have a dispute. We often pay with American lives.
Its is lend lease. They will pay it back just like Soviet Union and Great Britain had to do after ww2.
@@swedmiroswedmiro1352 they can't pay back the hardship that helping them causes the American citizens. Our government is supposed to be about Americans first. Funny how they help other countries build border walls but somehow don't think we need one.
@@swedmiroswedmiro1352 it's not our problem. What happened to all the stories about Ukraine being filled with Nazis. Funny how that all disappeared from the msm after Putin invaded Ukraine.
@@Randy-md6xl How many american lifes has been lost in Ukraine?
@@Randy-md6xl the hardship? Your military spending is far north of a trillion. Ukraine have enormous resourses and is a high tech country. They where the tech hub of Soviet and after Ukraine left the Russian space program it has crumbled into nothing. They will pay it back.
1:04 - 2:07
Because he's f-n based....he's like the only one who will say these things
Actually disagree with the we mostly can afford it, that is not true, very few can, like say corrupt congress, government, they of course would be ok!
You guys have clean drinking water in Detroit right ?
Oh so he is opposed to aid to Israel
I thought Russia was running out of weapons, ammo, hardware, etc. I thought Putin was dying, like of a different disease each two weeks. I thought Ukraine was winning EASY thanks to the heroism of The Ghost of Kiev and Ben Stiller. Who could imagine that “evacuation” actually means surrender, “strategic withdrawal” means running for the hills dropping weapons, leaving wounded and equipment after total rout? How are they going to call Ukraine’s unconditional surrender? May be strategic evacuation across the polish border.
Rand pol anti establish
...because I am a Russian agent and I want to spare my sugar daddy the humiliation of being defeated in Ukraine.
Why not donate american goods, new and pre-owned, bought from americans? WHAT does ukraine want the money for ? What are they buying with 40 billion?
Its is lend lease. They will pay it back just like Soviet Union and Great Britain had to do after ww2.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE GOING TO HEAVEN?
There Is only one God, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Three parts ONE God.
People have three parts, the body, the soul and the spirit, three parts, ONE person.
The Bible says that we are all sinners.
As it is written: There is none righteous , no not one. Romans 3:10
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.Romans 3:23
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags. Isaiah 64:6
For the wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23 (The word death in this verse means eternal separation from God in hell).
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Isaiah 1:18
Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures and that He was buried and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures. 1Corinthians 15:3-8
In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:14
For by grace ye are saved, through faith; and not of yourselves.
It is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
I do not frustrate the grace of God, for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. Galatians 2:21
Your trust in Jesus and His shed blood on the cross to pay for your sins, is what saves you from hell.
The moment you trust in Jesus and only Jesus, you are saved.
Then, you should be baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
I fully agree with supporting Ukraine, and it seems Rand Paul does to, but the point is how to manage the budget more intelligently. The US military budget is already gigantic: there are certainly a) cunning ways to help (some cost-effective help is being done to be fair) and b) what will be cut in the overall budget to compensate. Again, we (we the world) need to help stop Putin's international aggression (just like the invasion/occupation of Iraq should have been stopped), but not *only* by adding spending or not without thought. As a Canadian, in our case, I am against the crazy money-sink that are F-35 fighter/bomber planes that Canada *might* get between 2025-2027+: just an example of bad public management (including a very doubtful use of military budget for Canada).
Ps: one can be left-wing and uphold fiscal responsibility and proper public management. I am a Canadian progressive, left-wing in terms of public services, etc., but can still agree with Rand Paul here who does not share the same general political stances.
Pps : that said, there are divergent economic theories on how government budgets are limited or not, the value of money and debts, etc. It is honestly a wild mess and I cannot say which theories and ideologies are closer to reality (no matter left or right-wing).
RIP Rand Paul.
I understand how his neighbor reacted
Darrell McClanahan for United States Senator
Rand should run for an EU position. They talk, discuss, debate... but no action.
That's not true
What about climate change and global warming and people with disabilities
Rand Paul - the best politician Rubles can buy.
But trump put us 15 trillion.
