Who is being crushed?
cisTits says
The U.S. is $32 trillion in debt and inflation, which is crushing American families, continues to rage.
Who is being crushed? Their's inflation for sure. Had our best income year by $50k over the last with all the Covid bull shit. So a loaf of bread is 0.50¢ higher. The horror. Gonna miss my mortgage payment. Lol. The poor will almost always be poor. Make more money.
We are not paying for anything: we're simply borrowing at 0% from the frozen CCCP's assets which will ultimately belong to Ukraine as reparations for the illegal war being waged against it. So ultimately CCCP is paying for the whole covfefe entirely by their own choice
Yep, about $300 billion has been seized from Russian investors, etc. by the West after the invasion of Ukraine. It cost about $50 billion each in 2022 and 2023 for the US to fund Ukraine. Withdraw that $100 billion from the $300 billion in assets seized.

Is there something in the appropriations bills that stipulate the money being sent to Ukraine is strictly sourced from seized Russian government and Russian citizen's assets? No? Then the source of the funding is the US taxpayer.
WASHINGTON, May 10 (Reuters) - U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has authorized the first transfer of forfeited Russian assets for use in Ukraine, he said on Wednesday.
The Justice Department last year charged Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeyev with violating sanctions imposed on Russia after its invasion of Ukraine, saying he provided financing for Russians promoting separatism in Crimea.
At that time, Garland said, he also announced "the seizure of millions of dollars from an account at a U.S. financial institution traceable to Malofeyev’s sanctions violations."
In February, Garland said he authorized the transfer of that money for use in Ukraine.
"While this represents the United States’ first transfer of forfeited Russian funds for the rebuilding of Ukraine," Garland said, "it will not be the last,” he said in a statement.
Who gives a fuck about technicalities? These $300B+ are not going back to the cretin of Moscow. He's paying for this little adventure 100% (and then some).
But you all are right, my mother in law had a pension of about $100 a month in Ukraine. I think here are other pension benefits like utilities subsidy, public transportation subsidy, public health care, etc. But my mother in law said she was able to survive comfortably on that.
EU chief Von der Leyen: Frozen Russian assets will rebuild conflict-ravaged Ukraine
On Wednesday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced that a proposal will be presented in the coming weeks to suggest using frozen Russian assets to provide support for Ukraine within the European Union. This proposal aims to utilize these frozen assets as a means of assisting Ukraine in its efforts.

A proposal for the European Union to use frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine will be put forward in the coming weeks, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Wednesday.
The European Commission will put forward a plan to do so before the summer break, von der Leyen said while attending a conference on Ukrainian reconstruction in London.
She said frozen Russian assets should be used "because the perpetrator has to be held accountable."
The Ukraine Recovery Conference, which is being held in London on Wednesday and Thursday, is supposed to lay the foundations for rebuilding Ukraine from the destruction of the ongoing Russian invasion.
Yuuuuuuge relief for all who worried about paying these pensions:
Write your representatives and urge them to push it through asap. If you are really worried about US taxpayers footing the bill for that Soviet aggression and not something else, that is.

Ukey Bullshit Counter-offensive Paid By You And Me.
We were promised that they would be at the Sea of Azov MONTHS ago.
The House passed a foreign aid package on Saturday as well as what's called the REPO Act that will allow the Biden administration to confiscate billions of dollars’ worth of Russian assets sitting in U.S. banks and transfer them to Ukraine for reconstruction.
Freezing is a two way street. Like, nobody has investments in Russia? Freezing reduces liquidity on both sides, thus the lubricants of enterprise and commerce.
Pukin is picking up the tab:
"I fucking told you so"
Now Biden has openly admitted to it.
