Government Shutdown – U.S. Soldiers Won’t Get Paid, But We Will Still Be Paying Ukraine’s Soldiers!

How messed up is that???

🚨 JUST IN: The Pentagon has decided to EXEMPT Ukraine operations from a potential government shutdown if lawmakers fail to reach a deal by the end of the month.

This means tens of billions will continue flowing into Ukraine regardless.

Why is that even legal? pic.twitter.com/GKcCPb9aTb

Zelensky hilariously assures us that the $1 billion missing was not American taxpayer money. It was actually Ukrainian taxpayer money that is gone. So we should just be quiet, don’t question the narrative, and keep sending more money 🤔

We have sent over $100 billion in military… t.co/FYowjbQ2Mx

During a shutdown, per WaPo:

– Members of Congress: Get paid
– Congressional staffers: No pay, but get backpay
– Congress janitorial/cafeteria contractors: No pay, no backpay

BREAKING: The US government is now just 48 hours away from a shutdown.

This comes less than 3 months after the largest debt ceiling crisis since 2011.

Meanwhile, the government is borrowing over $14 billion PER DAY and spending $3 billion per day on interest expense alone.

All…
