Has anyone noticed?...

...the continuing requests from the WH to Congress for more military aid for Ukraine? Don't get me wrong, I'm all for it, but...

We pulled-out of Afghanistan, so shouldn't that have saved us some cash? The 2022 military appropriation was $30B MORE than actually requested. Now, the proposed 2023 military budget is an additional $30.7B more than the 2022 allocation.

So where is all of this money going? There was already an "extra" $30B thrown in the pot for 2022, and the $30.7B increase for 2023 will be "rubber-stamped" in Congress (it always is). So with all of this cash already floating around, why do we need to keep authorizing more--nickel and diming Congress in the name of Ukraine?

I'm all for supporting Ukraine, but it seems like there's already more than enough money in the DoD coffers, without begging for more. And we're not even sending troops (which can get expensive)--we're just sending hardware. Someone is profiting heavily.
