House Reaches $1.5 Trillion Budget Plan, Sends Taxpayer Money To Ukraine

Money printer go brrr!

Democrat and Republican House members reportedly reached a $1.5 trillion budget deal overnight to fund the government for the 2022 fiscal year.

The bill includes $730 billion in non-defense funding and $782 billion in defense funding. It also forcibly sends money taxed from American citizens to aid residents of Ukraine.

“This bipartisan agreement will help us address many of the major challenges we face at home and abroad: from COVID-19, to the vicious and immoral attack on Ukraine, to the need to lower costs for hardworking American families,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a joint statement. Fears of a government due to a lack of resolution have been imminent, leading the House to pursue a vote on a stopgap government funding bill in order to prevent a shutdown later this week.
