“Correct. But in addition to the increase in spending for our national defense, there is also an additional $45 billion, which is almost the entire budget of our Department of Homeland Security, by the way, $45 billion additional to go to Ukraine on top of the almost $60 billion already approved, authorized this last year, bringing it to somewhere around $100 billion, again for Ukraine, well eclipsing, almost doubling our own Department of Homeland Security budget, well eclipsing the entire defense budget of Russia. American taxpayers are paying for that. We talked about, I think, the 8 to 10 percent increase in defense spending. I would have to look at my notes. A sizable pop of money. Is the gentleman in agreement, because the gentleman served in the United States military for 30 years, and I thank him for it, just like I thank every other veteran and every other Active-Duty member of our United States military for standing up to defend this country, but I don't think the gentleman did that in order to rack up more debt and to destroy our financial security. I don't think the gentleman did that in order to throw 10 percent more money to the Department of Defense, a Department of Defense which is continually more of a social engineering experiment wrapped in a uniform than it is a military designed to kill people and blow things up. Would the gentleman agree? {time} 1745”
