The last 40 billion sent to Ukraine would have been enough to get all US citizens out of homelessness. If you’re going to print endless cash and fuck our economy, at least spend it on taking care of problems on home soil first.
Only 10% of the 61 billion goes to Ukraine.
Read the Bill pal.👍🏻
I think you need to take into account that most "homeless" people are drug addicted and/or mentally ill and are there by choice that is protected by the ACLU. It isn't a money problem.
What a hollow and insincere argument. You have never once wanted anybody to do anything to help Americans. Only now that we are spending money to fight Putin do you pretend like you would want money to do anything to help people. Go play in traffic, Ivan.
Put your mouth where your money is. You don't vote for it, it won't happen, and you know which side despises helping the homeless.
Only 10% of the 61 billion goes to Ukraine, the rest goes back into the US Military Industrial Complex.
Nobody wants to hear this RINO!
lol, I just love you guys. The man is a pure capitalist. A proven small government man. And on top of that, one of the most intelligent GOP politicians in decades. And because he is so much smarter than little Donnie, and actually has integrity and principles that he stands by, he is a RINO. lol, you people literally stand for nothing.
check his earnings from his private investment fund. 😂😂
Stop taking our farmland !!!!!!!!
And in Africa too **for John Kerry and Leo Decaprio’s carbon offset virtue signaling**
Only you have lots of money for Ukraine?
Report
Why does america have to babysit other countries put America first
1:19
international companies have drilling rights in certain parts of Ukraine.
Quit lining your pockets Mitch!
Amen to that!! It would take a fool,to not see what’s going on!
America comes First, we shouldn't be worried about other countries.
YOU bureaucrats DON’T “get people out of poverty”... They do, and you thinking YOU do, puts more exponentially there.. Holy Eff!
IMO
The 53 Nations of The Continent of Africa,
now Independent Countries
from The Belgium, British, French etc Empires
have had decades to govern their respective
countries in a responsible manner.
YET
80+% of them appear to be totally dependent on
INTERNATIONAL AID
from MANY countries.
Is it a case
"The MORE "WE" financially support them
the MORE disinclined they are to
HELP themselves OUT of poverty ?
You didnt watch the video. They are talking about US giving money for food to other countries.
@@FunnyBunny-pd5xxYou’re “opinion” is 100% factual, good job. Especially if you study the global climate cult elitist’s “plan” that PAY their bureaucrats (so called) NOT to develop their societies, as well as confiscate and offer up their citizen’s potential farm land for rich western billionaires to virtue signal “carbon offset” planting so they feel absolved in their private jets, limos, mansions, yachts.. (Orwell is here but now on steroids)
@@DemolitionManDemolishesread my exchange with the first respondent. (And you’ll understand why the comments by those informed of these scams, using OUR taxpayer dollars, by western bureaucrats. (Feel free to counter or challenge AFTER understanding the issue and debate being addressed)
And if they took a major pay cut, they could help more citizens with OUR OWN taxpayer money! But they don't want to live with less money like we do. BS!! 😠🔥
Borrowing to help unappreciative nations, exponentially increased US debt.
Migrant care spending is as out of control as immigration is.
@@federalistpapers4523 Idiocy. Undocumented migrants generate 2 1/2 times more economic value than they cost.
@@federalistpapers4523 reminder: they are Illegai Immigrants as listed in the Laws.
Get that ring out of office
America last
That was said by a DEMORAT during or just after the election interference in 2020.
How many socialist/communist are in this ADMIN ISTRATION?
No because you giving it all to Ukraine right. Then you get kick backs right
Money for wars. No money for food.
Of course there's enough money but it's all about priorities
Unfortunately, the issue has never been “lifting people out of poverty”. It’s always been about creating and maintaining a dependent power base.
As they just voted for a 100 billion (added to the other countless times) to send to foreign nations and foreign nationals.
It takes 35 years to count to 1 billion...all they do is spend with no consequences...inflation and devalues the dollar.Taxpayers just are at their mercy..
@@teresaellis895🎯 Can’t add anything to that! Awesome, thx!
ADD.... that to the Taxpayer's money from
Australia
The European Union - as an Institution.
ALL 27 EU Member States - who respectively have GIVEN.
NATO Member States
Japan .... and more.. !
A start would be to stop war funding, Mitt. And to focus and plan for the lives of those paying tax dollars. I can't believe he actually said that out loud.
Mitt is a big lier
What did he lie about? Everything he said makes perfect sense.
@@DemolitionManDemolisheshe’s been caught many times before. And he often says one thing in public and does the opposite in the back room. He’s a known global socialist
Dems do not want to explain themselves
@viettung1255 And he is a big liar also.
Bain Capital, 1984 -
Get the government out of the economy and go get real jobs.
listen to the G#@MO detainee tell it! WAKE UP AMERICA!
But for war
there's plenty of money!
Just not for our people!
That money is actually for American people who work on weapons production, so you are wrong
It's easy Mitt, YOU and every Senator and Congressman should put america first and if we have anything left over we consider it.
No one can solve the World's problems. They have to think it out, write it down, start with what they have, then build on it.
Help American people BEFORE those abroad or illegally here!!
So she said we have a certain amount for this disease and that disease, yet they have any abundance to send to ukrain...no limit on that!
We DO have enough money!! STOP sending money to Ukraine...
Not enough money to be giving to foreign countries 😢
A establishment Republican is the Same as a Democrat.
But got enough money to send to ukraine
🥴🥸🙂
If America woke up earlier and acted accordingly to the Russian aggression in 2014 we wouldn't have today's wars. If you fail to act now it will be an even bigger problem tomorrow.
And Israel don’t forget about IDF
@@turtleislandniiji8261you know, I’m not even for that BUT, we have a boomerang trade deal with Israel that all our aid is lined itemized by them, in RETURN trade contracts including sharing technology and defense weaponry.. (goes down a sinkhole with ALL other nations we just throw OUR money too). At least an argument can be made with Israel aid/US partnerships.
Sorry! After Illegals and Ukraine, there is just no money left for American poor citizens!
The answer to that question should scare people because the answer is, there is no answer. She said a lot of things but answered nothing
Their priority is to line their own pockets while increasing their political power.
Think for yourself instead of pushing stereotypical Democrat/Liberal comments. You basically said the Conservative equivalent to: "Dirty Hippie"
@@evelynclover6366 I have no clue what your comment means. Do you?
No money? It seems like we have plenty of money to send 95 billion to Ukraine.
Who cares what Rhino Romney has to say????
This is why we're 34 trillion in debt.
Loans + USURY + Compound interest
Over 5 Trillion Dollars that is the Cost of Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Had we spent that much money to rebuilt America's Manufacturing Industry then that would have Benefitted Millions of Working Class American People.
America and Americans should come FIRST!!
NOT OTHER COUNTRIES.
American money SHOULD STAY IN AMERICA!!
Great example of speaking alot of words and having nothing of use to say.
Anyone who thinks it's money that gets people out of poverty is part of the poverty problem. It's productive and fulfilling work that gets people out of poverty.
Somebody go wake Biden up and tell him his time is done we need somebody in there who knows what they're doing.
Spend our money on America 🇺🇸 not government corruption 😢
You got 94 billion for Israel and Ukraine. The American people are just not buying it any more.
More bs
Now he acts like he sees the light. He’s a RINO
close the freaking border and take xare of America first, and stop supporting other countries...
Congress priorities are send most money to other countries, As Pence said,America isn't his problem.
This RINO raided pension funds
Waste of breath. Empty words.
America and Americans First 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
He’s right. Its a geopolitical problem dependent on culture and politics. The solutions inevitably have to come from the locals.
What about helping Americans
Romney go home 😢
I feel like 90% of people here didnt even watch the video, they just read the headline. It's not about what you think it is.
Stop The Climate Change Crap, Mitt!
The establishment talking piece saying we cant so it. Thats un American, what a failure of man
Migration hasn't a dang thing to do with the climate. The places the migrates left, still has people LIVING LIFE every day there.
How do they decide? Easy answer. It goes to where they are willing to pay the kickbacks.
Obiden gave all of our money away! Thanks joe blow!
There will always be poor people, there is in every country. The amount of people in and the depth of poverty in a country this rich is what's unconscionable.
Tax the rich instead of giving them huge tax breaks for years while the poor don’t have enough to eat…🤨
You must be talking about the Democrat’s S.A.L.T tax breaks where poor national -taxpayers flip the bill for tax breaks for billionaires and millionaires in heavily taxed blue states?
The rich pay far more than their fair share already. A better idea in the immediate is to stop sending all of this money to Ukraine. An endless war that they can never win. The problem then is that we would have to get new voters somehow that would quit voting in a bunch of war mongers all of the time.
Did you know that farmers are only allowed to bring so much products to market, and they have to destroy the rest. And with all the hungry, government is destroying food.
@@NHLblkgurl No, blue states fund red states on the whole.
Gee, "long games" that never bare fruit are called grifts...
But you have enough money to pay your salary!
I would love to have an unlimited bank account like the USA,
You start at home!
How about just getting out of citizens’ business? Remove the massive restrictions on citizens? Small businesses are burdened with federal BS.
All she is saying is Bla Bla Bla.
Starvation because of climat change? Wrf?
We need more co2 if anything. It allows plants to grow more food while using less water.
Science illiteracy alert.
@@astronautical1082 How do you think plants work? Ever visited a greenhouse business?
Cut defense by 5% and we get rid of poverty in the United States.
I guess this is what happens when you read that joe smith book.
Technology and resources can. Overpriced rent, unemployment, and living standards cause poverty .
Oh yeah and when all these damn companies and all these damn states keep doing studies and paying for studies and got to do a study on and study that's a waste of money when you have to do it that much
How about M.A.G.A.
Quit with the ear marks and sending American taxpayers money to Ukraine
Sail one of your jets mitt and help feed the homeless
FMR
What are the biggest problems with this huge jump in minimum wage there's a reason why McDonald's and some of these things are called starter jobs because they pay low gets you to the mindset of a wanting to get to a better job be having something to work to start getting ethical a work history
How can you give cash when they don't have any cash in the Treasury we printed tons❤ but that's not real cash
It's not about money.
It's about fair trade, continued education, hands up,
its about living well.
Those rich people think that they can buy anything, they think they can buy life.
If they could actually be really kind and fair to everyone, and if they chose to share what they've been given, this would help.
Poverty isn't about how much money you have, anyway, poverty is about not living well.
Wealth is more than cash.
We need more REAL people willing to work in the House and Senate. Not figurines 🥴 .
Whatever AIPAC tells them to say. 💰 💰 💰
Where's the money going?
Oh I know I know I know I know where to spend the money let's give it to the politicians and let them sort it out and help us,,😂
It’s not our responsibility to fix the world’s problems if we cannot fix our own.
The WORLD HAS ENOUGH MONEY:)
WE live in a world of PLENTY.
Finally, something you say that I can agree with
Mitt RINO Romney is a seriously weak man.
You know the best and most real case study you can really do is pick out a couple cities in the entire us and use them as a model to try to figure out the problems of those cities scale up the concept to the larger cities English people start getting things on track but no
....right...$95billion for foreigners...not enough for US...kickbacks much?
Mittens tryimg to be relevant he's NOT!!!
With half the billions we've given to ukrain and them who cannot be spoken ill of, we could've ended poverty and homelessness in this country as well as closed the border.
We agree !
But you have enough to send oversees
Good for Powers
What a cluster….
People don't need gov money, all they need is less regulations, better trade, less tax, cheap energy price.
Call in the pink unicorns for visual inspiration , Samantha
❤🎉❤
The only way is to make jobs and the money that comes from that to the workers is how you solve the problems!!!
Dont you guys understand that my future is out there if we do not get president Trump back in the white house my future isn't going to be safe
Mittens Romney can't wait for November so this Rino leaves
