This question is not fair. I support helping Ukraine and funding we gave the first time. I do not support more funding when no one can say where or what the first money sent was used for.

Securing our Border by completing the wall. The money was already set aside to do this, so we might have to find out who stole it and sold it to begin prosecuting them. The people who have done this have committed a huge crime against the American People. Address the drug crisis. I would like to sit down and look at the funding that is being wasted on drug programs and facilities that have a poor success rate and try something completely different. The answer isn?t, let?s throw more money at it. The answer is, change the whole plan and find a plan that has a low cost and chance of a greater success rate.
