  We could do a lot for climate change, world hunger, homelessness, disease prevention and eradication, and so on with that much money.

  All of these people are doing mass murder via opportunity cost, and I hope they pay for it.

    No, we must first further enrich Larry Ellison. The man clearly doesn’t have enough money.

  Your taxes, straight into the pockets of needy folk like Sam Altman and Larry Ellison.

  Big Tech dug a trillion dollar money pit, so obviously now their stooge has to fill it up with your money.

    Watch them get rid of 22nd ammendment before project 2025 is done.

      I’ve been worrying about that for a while now.

    Not likely, the idiots that voted for this are still out there, and they didn’t learn from the last time either.

  Trump is an investor, not a president.

    No, he isn’t. He’s a scam artist and a con man. Always has been,and barely ever hid it.

      Every single thing Trump does is about the grift.

  500 billion… of H1B1 visas. Great work, MAGAs.

  Doesn’t seem like any funding was actually committed to at all by anyone.

  The money will disappear into a hole, just like it does every time the US government invests into tech

  Better than Biden would do. He would give all 500 billion to Ukraine.

    Most Ukraine funding is actually in the form of weapons, most of which have been sitting in warehouses in case of war with Russia. Now they get used before going obsolete and the US’s #1 rival is quickly becoming irrelevant without putting US soldiers at risk. We provide the weapons and Ukraine supplies the soldiers. I think we got the better side of that bargain.

    This whole idea that the US is spending money abroad out of some kind of altruism or that we just let other countries take advantage is preposterous. It’s always money spent in furtherance of US interests. We are the wealthiest country in the world in large part because we exploit the labor and resources of the rest of the planet.

      In addition, none of that money ever leaves the U.S. If $500 billion gets spent supporting Ukraine, that’s $500 billion that goes from Congress over to U.S. manufacturers, who create the supplies and then ship those over to Ukraine. The money goes straight back into the U.S. economy. (People can complain about it going mostly to arms manufacturers, but in this particular instance I feel like helping a friendly country protect itself from a hostile invading force is a pretty good use of that money)
