Congressional D's ask for $33Billion for "Aid to Ukraine", but it must contain a pork barrel rider of $22.5B for "Covid Relief". R's demand the aid CAN NOT contain any additional Covid Relief if they want the bill to pass. So they REMOVE the excess Ukraine $22.5Billion pork, and the bill rises to $40B
$33Billion minus $22.5Billion = $40Billion
This concludes today's math lesson brought to you by your friends at the D.N.C.
I missed my opportunity.
I should have moved to Washington DC and changed my name to "Congressional Slush-fund".
Then opened multiple bank accounts in Washington DC under my new name Congressional Slush-fund. All I'd have to do then is sit around waiting to grow wealthy. Eventually some politician would discover the bank accounts and put $Billions into them. :>)
Not too late, we’re just entering the golden age of congressional kickbacks. Just watch.
