Gotta love how people hold up the delivery of armaments to Ukraine, and then complain about how the counteroffensive has failed. And the money figures of how much we give to Ukraine are vastly overinflated - the Stingers and older javelins were in storage and we were about to pay a small fortune to have them decommissioned, so we actually saved $ by being able to give them away. The army was pushing for the WH to give Ukraine F16s so they can move on to F35s...
Congress keeps re-inserting weapons programs into the budget like the $2billion a pop B2 bombers and more tanks that the military doesn't want all of which collect dust and storage costs simply because they are jobs programs...you know, that "socialism" that rightwingers rail about... unless it goes to white people.
The same anal orifices protecting wasteful useless military projects are now pretending that products that are made in America, create US jobs, and are actually USEFUL, are an expense we can't afford, that it is somehow inexplicably more draining than the worthless pork projects they so vigilantly promote and safeguard.
