The White House delivered a dire warning to congressional leaders Monday that time is running out for lawmakers to approve more assistance to Ukraine — sounding the alarm that Kyiv’s battlefield gains against Russia are at risk without more money.
In letters Monday to party leaders in the House and Senate, White House budget chief Shalanda Young warned that inaction before the end of the year on a new round of funding threatens to “kneecap Ukraine on the battlefield.”
“I want to be clear: Without congressional action, by the end of the year we will run out of resources to procure more weapons and equipment for Ukraine and to provide equipment from U.S. military stocks,” wrote Young, director of the Office of Management and Budget. “There is no magical pot of funding available to meet this moment. We are out of money — and nearly out of time.”
Identical letters were sent to Speaker Mike Johnson, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

$34 trillion in debt, struggling Americans working 3 jobs, tens of thousands of homeless veterans, open borders/an invasion, etc. etc.
But Biden's biggest concern is giving Ukraine more money.
@9HF98YK 5mos5MO
joe biden is social liberal give unlimited human aid
@9HDLKLPPeace and Freedom5mos5MO
they should really do something about the money because its scary that the U.S is going low.
@P0pulistJohnny5mos5MO
Stop sending money to Ukraine then. Stop the welfare spending then. Cut the useless Federal Departments then. We have plenty of money, they are just getting wasted.
@9HF98YK 5mos5MO
joe is social liberal dominate by human rights foreign policy not good foor country, joe biden not center-left.
@9HDMZ4X5mos5MO
The amount of money that Biden has pushed out to these countries is insane to me. We have tons of issues in this young country that I think we need to focus more on.
@9HDSW8Q5mos5MO
We're funding international topics more than domestic ones.
@9HDKKWB5mos5MO
we still need to take care of us.
@9HDLRJZ5mos5MO
Let Kanye come in drop an album and we got some money
@9HDP3MT5mos5MO
The idea that the United States of America has "run out of money" to help Ukraine is completely absurd.
Foreign aid is getting kinda outta hand
@9HF5Q6Y5mos5MO
US First, other nations second. We need to become healthy as a country again before helping others.
@9HDMJBD5mos5MO
We should spend less on many matters in government, including Ukraine
@GiddyDoves5mos5MO
Russia defeated Ukraine a year and a half ago and basically they've taken everything they wanted and locked it down and the ukrainians have been stealing our money for a year and a half pocketing most, using some to enrich corrupt weapons industry. don't forget big guy gets 10%.
@9HDPVTL5mos5MO
we need to balance the federal budget.
@OffendedD1rect5mos5MO
They have plenty of money. Our money. In Swiss bank accounts.

It shows that the Government has no finacial skills in order to use the US’ money properly.
@9HDSBW5Republican5mos5MO
The government should stop funding aa foreign war
@9HDMPS95mos5MO
we shouldnt be funding the engagement at all
@9HJ6X975mos5MO
It's Biden's ways of running this country is whats not it
@9HF767J5mos5MO
In 2023 the government spent 6.13 trilion dollars, which resulted in a deficit because they didnt collect that much back with their revenue.
@9HF5W7NProgressive5mos5MO
We should either join or find a way to end Russian aggression
@9HDZTSZ5mos5MO
I think that our government needs to stop spending money that we don't have. It is greatly hurting our economy. It is also hurting the future of our country, and the people who are going to live in it.

@9HDZD9WRepublican5mos5MO
If we can’t afford to aid them we need to stop
its crazy to think the state our economy is at.
@9HDPRBG5mos5MO
If we have no money, why are we pouring wo much money into foreign wars
@9HF4ZMQ5mos5MO
We should manage public finances better
@9HDQHKXIndependent5mos5MO
i think Russia should get out of Ukraine.
@9HDQ3JHPeace and Freedom5mos5MO
We should stop sending as much as we do to foreign affairs until we have our citizens secure economically
@9HDMPCY5mos5MO
Its apart of the governments responsibility to use the citizens money appropriately and this is an example of them betraying that responsibility.
@9HF23FK5mos5MO
STOP GIVING OTHERS MONEY WE DONT HAVE.
@9HDZX225mos5MO
The US debt is out of control. We as a whole country, send so much money out and into other countries that not very many people we even know are there. I believe that all countries should have limits and plans for themselves, but the fact funding that could be in our countries hospitals and schools are being sent to a war not involving the US citizens is crazy to me.
@9HDZK5QRepublican5mos5MO
I approve of this because this could be useful in court
@9HDW3JW5mos5MO
The war in ukraine is very important.
@9HDS5S25mos5MO
We should not fund things we are not directly involved in
@9HDPSRH5mos5MO
It's most important because it's current and effects everyone.
@9HDMZ385mos5MO
We need to stop spending money that we don't have.
@9HDKQ2B5mos5MO
I believe it’s a hoax the US does not want to get into bad terms with russia for helping ukraine which is wrong.
@9HF2VYP5mos5MO
I believe that the US does allocate money to unecesary locations. Therefore, I believe that the US should reevaluate how they spend money such that they would be able to continue to help Ukraine.
@9HF2WDB5mos5MO
I think it is something that needs to be addressed.
@9HDVY4F5mos5MO
Ukraine needs that aid so that war can stop in Ukraine.
@9HDVL6X5mos5MO
Supporting Ukraine is one of the most important aims in US foreign policy of our time, to win the war against Russia - a fascist aggressor that would otherwise prepare the next war against another country
@9HDQCYW5mos5MO
it's important because another country shouldn't have to suffer
@9HDKZBS5mos5MO
how can the white house be out of money
