White House asks Congress to approve additional $10B in Ukraine-related aid
By Morgan Chalfant - 03/03/22 08:22 AM EST

The White House on Wednesday formally asked Congress to authorize $10 billion in additional humanitarian, economic and security assistance for Ukraine and allies in central Europe to respond to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

“Given the rapidly evolving situation in Ukraine, I anticipate that additional needs may arise over time,” Office of Management and Budget acting director Shalanda Young wrote in a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday outlining the request.

“This funding request is based on the Administration’s best information on resource requirements at this time, and we will remain in touch with the Congress in the coming weeks and months as we assess resource requirements beyond these immediate needs.”


Young asked that the funding be authorized as part of an appropriations bill that Congress is expected to approve before a March 11 deadline to fund the government.

How about NO! We don't have it.

Why don't we just use the proceeds from the seizure of Russian Oligarchs' assets?

Let the Ruskies bare the cost of a humanitarian crisis of their choosing.

I like the idea! But I'm sure there is some kind of "rule" against it.

Eventually, that might happen, but since most of the assets probably consist of things like yachts and houses, it will take a while to get a sale set up and then get valid title transferred.

I'm sure there's some russian funds or precious metals hidden in bank vaults around the world, maybe, Cyprus or Switzerland?

Let's see.  At 10%, that's another cool billion for the Big Guy

Biden still has covid money that he never spent as well has his discretionary funds so he has money.. Congress may have to give him "permission" to move it but he has it..

Half of it is going to protect the rights of Ukraine transgendered people, I suspect.
