Obama team announces $1 billion in aid to Ukraine

19. Unfortunately, IMO this is a giant step

towards a new cold war.
Americans have been suffering under this one party imposed Austerity for the masses and Huge Wealth Increases for the already wealthy.
I think that at this moment in history we have to be isolationists until we overcome the corporatism of our govt.
That BILLION $ plus much more should be spent guaranteeing living wage jobs and cleaning out the corruption that has become our govt.
Guarantee our disabled and elderly a prosperous quality of life.

"We" pay our Congress over $100,000 yearly to show up in D.C. and raise more money, for the less than 150 days a year that they are present.
Their "job" (most of them) is to accept money from the elite to suppress the living conditions, salary, etc. of the huge majority of Americans.
For that, their corporate masters guarantee they will be millionaires within a year of being "elected" to be "our leaders."

Marie Antoinette was an angel compared to todays "leaders."

"Our leaders" should be paid exactly what the average (not median) American actually EARNS, about $25,000 a year. "They" have actually voted themselves automatic yearly pay raises........
