But the budget doesn't always matter. Nor is careful stewardship of public funds always a priority. When the need is great, both parties come together and overlook such trivialities. Biden, with the support of Republicans, liberal Democrats, and right-wing Democrats, just announced an additional $800 million in military aid to Ukraine, bringing the total to more than $2.5 billion. Who cares if some of that gear winds up in the hands of neo-Nazis? In $100 bills the cash would weigh 25 tons.
Those who criticize the United States government as inefficient, couldn't possibly be more mistaken.
Congress and the White House are lightning quick and incredibly generous - when it matters.
