Joe Biden is mulling an additional request for a massive $100 billion, earmarked for defense assistance to Israel and Ukraine, along with funding for US border security and aid to Indo-Pacific nations, including Taiwan.
The proposal, Reuters reports, reveals a troubling departure from addressing domestic issues, which likely need immediate attention. Instead, the Biden administration seems more interested in projecting power and benevolence abroad.
This support for Israel is being cunningly used to smuggle aid to Ukraine, a nation that has yet to gain the full confidence of House Republicans.
The growing national debt, which is a staggering $28 trillion and counting, cannot be overlooked. Every dollar sent abroad is a dollar not spent to alleviate the many problems facing the average American. From rising health care costs to the looming threat of inflation, the issues at home are many and pressing.
