America LAST: US Senate REJECTS $48 Billion Aid Package For Small Businesses and Restaurants Just Hours After Approving ANOTHER $40 Billion for Ukraine – 34 RINOs Voted Yes for Ukraine and No for Americans
On Thursday – just hours after approving another $40 billion in US taxpayer dollars for Ukraine – the US Senate blocked a bipartisan $48 billion aid package for restaurants, gyms, and other small businesses that have been struggling in Biden’s post-lockdown economy.
Presumably, they can’t launder that money as easily as shuffling it off to Ukraine, so American business owners get the shaft yet again from its traitorous elected officials.
In other words, just another day in the DC Swamp…
On same day that the Senate cleared $40 billion more for Ukraine, they rejected a similar bill for American small businesses.
We should be opposed to all big govt bills, but GOP members who voted for Ukraine over American relief have some qs to answer.https://t.co/vPAY4Z1ZIu

Needing 60 votes to move forward, the Senators killed the package with a 52-43 vote. Five Senators refrained from casting a vote at all, and just five GOP senators voted for the motion to proceed.
Odd… considering there were a whopping 39 of these so-called ‘Republicans’ who voted for the $40 billion Ukraine aid package.
Absolutely inexcusable.
Here are the RINO scumbags who rejected the aid package for Americans, yet sided with Democrats on the additional $40 billion for Ukraine. The list includes the usual crowd of swamp creatures like Mitt Romney, Lindsey Graham, and Mitch McConnell, but it also reveals some more favorably viewed ‘conservative’ Senators had no problems finding the money when it was for the neocon war machine in Ukraine.
Looking at you, Ted Cruz:
Barrasso (R-WY), NayBurr (R-NC), NayCapito (R-WV), NayCornyn (R-TX), NayCotton (R-AR), NayCramer (R-ND), NayCruz (R-TX), NayDaines (R-MT), NayErnst (R-IA), Yea/No VoteFischer (R-NE), NayGraham (R-SC), NayGrassley (R-IA), NayHoeven (R-ND), NayHyde-Smith (R-MS), NayInhofe (R-OK), NayJohnson (R-WI), NayKennedy (R-LA), NayLankford (R-OK), NayMcConnell (R-KY), NayMoran (R-KS), NayPortman (R-OH), NayRisch (R-ID), NayRomney (R-UT), NayRounds (R-SD), NayRubio (R-FL), NaySasse (R-NE), NayScott (R-FL), NayScott (R-SC), NayShelby (R-AL), NaySullivan (R-AK), NayThune (R-SD), NayTillis (R-NC), NayToomey (R-PA), NayYoung (R-IN), Nay
At least the same Senators who voted not to send Ukraine aid remained consistent. All 11 of them rejected both packages:
Blackburn (R-TN), NayBoozman (R-AR), NayBraun (R-IN), NayCrapo (R-ID), NayHagerty (R-TN), NayHawley (R-MO), NayLee (R-UT), NayLummis (R-WY), NayMarshall (R-KS), Nay/No votePaul (R-KY), NayTuberville (R-AL), Nay
The most open liberal-Republicans of the bunch voted yes on both bills (totaling a whopping $88 billion).
Poll numbers tanking? Free cash for everyone – it’s the Leftist playbook 101.
