And how much was in the bill to house the homeless woman who asked me to buy her lunch last month? Or to feed her? Or to get her modest clothes or healthcare? Or for my healthcare, for that matter?
Her money was pocketed by private insurance companies. Blame them, not a poor country that's under attack. US has way more than enough money to feed and house everyone, even if they quadruple the spending on Ukraine.
They are spending more on your healthcare than most developed nation spend on theirs per citizen, it just gets stolen on its way to you. US healthcare is not underfunded.
That sounds like you want socialism...

Republicans allegedly want to give those funds to the Border Patrol and to build the Great Wall, not to feed your theoretical homeless woman.
Actually they don't really care about that either, which is why an additional $14 billion for border security isn't enough for them.
That's like asking how much of my grocery bill goes towards my car insurance.
This specific bill is specifically for military funding.
