$300 Billion Given to Ukraine?

$300 Billion GIVEN to Ukraine amounts to $1,000.00 for every man, woman and child in America, or $2,500.00 for every American federal taxpayer (not all Americans pay federal taxes).

After insulting America, Zelensky then went to London and signed a LOAN agreement for $3 Billion with the UK.

Of course, the only way that the UK can hope to get their money back is by ridding Ukraine of the Russian menace. And of course the UK will expect the US to bear the lion's share of the cost and effort. And if Ukraine does eventually wear Russia down the UK may get that $3 Billion back, and the US will get ... the middle finger.

If I take the latest US Census figures for 2024, the current population is the US is 340.1 million. Now, I am not a math genius but if I divide $300 billion by 340.1 million, then I don't come to $1,000 for every man, woman and child. Unless of course, you remove all the legal immigrants...

@StephieThanks. Last I checked, a billion is a thousand million. and a trillion is a thousand billion. I didn't factor in the illegals, and I confessed to estimating. Also made some adjustment for the debt stacked ahead of what was what was borrowed, and the accumulated interest. Sorry :)

FWIW, the US census counts everyone, not just US citizens, and there is no question in the census process of whether one is or isn’t a citizen. So the number of illegals in the US is uncertain. A good estimate is 20 to 30 million. So let me modify that $1,000 to say “about $1,000 for every man, woman and child who is a US citizen.”
