    1. This was basically the bill that Ted Cruz submitted. It included a loophole that would have reclassified some bonuses and hedge fund commissions as “tips” that couldn’t be taxed.

    1. We aren’t sending them money, we’re sending them equivalent value in hardware. We do this all the time and we have so much excess hardware that we’re sending billions of dollars worth to local police departments under the 1033 Program. The money had already been spent in a prior DoD budget. Republicans just wanted to make it a useless wedge issue to distract for their lack of salient policy proposals.

      Cutting Ukraine aid won’t lower your taxes but it sure will increase the risk of having to take more expensive (both in cost and lives) action downstream.

    2. We have sent them billions. paying to keep their pensions solvent, etc. read the news sometime

    3. Okay, and? We paid for salary support for Ukrainian first responders; people who help civilians. It keeps their economy from collapsing and thereby dragging down other western economies. We would lose more in economic losses if they collapsed than we do in any indirect military and monetary support we provide. We also bought some feed and fertilizer for Ukraine, because if Ukraine’s food system collapses, it will drive up global food prices and hit Americans directly in the wallet.

      Seriously, are you incapable of seeing the broader, real-money impacts of allowing the Russians to steamroll Ukraine? I’m ignoring the threat to NATO entirely, just the economic reasoning alone is enough to provide that support.

    4. Also, the April 2024 Ukraine aid package explicitly prohibits the funds from going to plugging the gap on pensions, so you lied about that.

  1. I’m amazed Kamala actually took a stand and stated a real plan. So far she has not stated any real policy proposals besides the generic and rhetorical ‘go get em’ campaign hype, and the mainstream media is afraid to ask her policies on any subject.

    1. Meh, that’s to be expected. They won’t start doing big policy talk until after the DNC and their policy platform has been formally adopted. They will do the stump speeches leading up to the DNC and then have a big blitz on policy and sit down interviews between the DNC and the debate on September 10th.

    2. It’s ironic, because she crusaded against low and middle income workers to tax their tips throughout her political career. She loves the IRS and crushing small business.

    3. Can you provide a source for that, DH? I don’t really like the policy idea but I haven’t seen anything that suggests a “crusade” against low and middle-income workers by Kamala.
