“Why don’t we talk about the American people who are hurting?” This was the plea made by Texas Representative, Chip Roy. His frustration was due to receiving a bill to fund Ukraine $40 billion to aid them in their resistance to Russia’s invasion. US News cites more sophisticated weapons as a main driver for such a big figure. The House approved the $40 billion figure, which was $7 billion more than what Biden asked for. The bill passed 368-57, receiving 3 out 4 Republican support. Roy was one of the few speaking out against ramming this bill through asking “why don’t we talk about . . . the wide open borders, the inflation that’s killing people?”
