Johnson was interviewed by Hannity last night and they discussed the funding of Ukraine/Israel and such. Johnson does not intend to throw money at these countries... if he is true to his words in this interview, he is going to implement some very common sense things attached to the funding measures. One of the most important ones, in my mind, is he's not sending money we don't have by firing up the printing presses, but will rather seek budget cuts elsewhere to pay for it.
Apologies for the youtube link, but it's the best one I could find quickly. Start watching at the 16 minute mark through 19:30 or so. Hannity is nearly unbearable to listen to, but I think Johnson's remarks are very noteworthy. Let's hope he carries through on the things he says in this interview.

EXACTLY!
Why does giving people money have to be incentive to make cuts?
I think what DC does is give the money above board, in front of the cameras, and then the Loan Repayment part is backdoor deals and diplomatic pouches stuffed with cash coming back to bribe the politicians.
When you see some jackass politican visiting some country in crisis like Ukraine they are just bagmen bringing back diplomatic pouches full of cash and sensitive in person communications, period. The rest is a show to make it appear legit.
