That’s what the anti-goose contingent want you to think.Now I may not be an air crash investigator, but if I were looking at a crashed helicopter full of mashed dead geese...
Occam's razor may come into play, it wouldn't take 2 years to go "hmm... Maybe geese?"
The till is empty. There is no money to fund this. Unsustainable.
Senators on Sunday released the details of a $118.2 billion bipartisan aid proposal for Ukraine, Israel and the southern U.S. border, after months of painstaking, closed-door negotiations.
The long-awaited bill requests $60.1 billion for Ukraine aid, $14.1 billion for Israel and $20.2 billion to improve security at the U.S. border. It also includes smaller pockets of funding for humanitarian assistance in war-torn regions, and defense operations in the Red Sea and Taiwan.
President Joe Biden initially proposed a more than $105 billion aid package in October. The Senate’s new deal roughly matches the funding proportions Biden had requested for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.
The central difference in the new proposal is over $13 billion more in border security funding, which was a major point of contention in the months-long Senate talks.

First, this is not a "Border Bill" regardless of the label.
Nothing kicks in for border stoppage until they exceed 5,000 illegals per day.First, this is not a "Border Bill" regardless of the label.
While I have not read the bill in it's entirety, I must ask.... "What's in this bill for me"?
Nothing
What does this bill do for America other than bring "We the People" closer to bankruptcy ?
At this point, the best outcome will be DOA when it reaches the House.
Because we are told you are a failure if you don't go to college. Any trade job is seen as well he could not do any better.From your perspective, why don't people want to work these jobs ?
Because they don't feel like permanently crippling their bodies slaving away for some company? That was one of my primary reasons for exiting and staying out of the trade I was in.
Not everything in life is about money. I'm now working a desk job in the heavy equipment sector and making more than I was in a trade with better benefits. Why would I bust my ass?
Many of these jobs are necessary and for sure are not getting the recruitment they need. But it's not simply because people are lazy now like Rowe pushes. It's often because the juice doesn't feel worth the squeeze.
Closest I cam was a mechanic. You can never say, all. But I would say most. I did it when I was in my 20's, and saw lots of people my age pack up their tools and just walk out the door after their second come back.Having been a tradesman myself and have family and friends who still are, yeah these are some reasons. But not all of them are on the guy who decides he doesn't want to do it.
Any apprenticeship program requires a commitment. Our's is 5 years. A high school graduate that just want's to be a welder ends up competing with the illegal immigrant. There is a right way to get to a skilled, high paying job. A person can not walk in today and be an apprentice tomorrow. The process weed's out those who don't make a commitment. It's not easy, nor is it for everyone.Because we are told you are a failure if you don't go to college. Any trade job is seen as well he could not do any better.
There is a pretty hot lib that works here. His daughter is almost out of high school. We are talking about our kids, and I asked about her, saying she should be out of school now, or close.
Oh she is a senior this year.
Cool, does she know what she wants to do for her next step.
She wants to be a welder, he said with some discust.
Oh that is fantastic, those people can make some real good money, and she is going to be one of the people that actually makes things, she is going to be building the world, making it go you should be so proud of her.
yeah.
Still to this day it is not seen as a "good" job.
"Good" electricians, plumbers, any trade job are very hard to come by.
That is why people don't want to work those jobs, the high schools shame poeople that are interested in them, and who runs the HS.
That is really true, some are in so deep they can't be saved. They just flat refuse to see the light. The only truth comes from main stream media.
You can't move these people even with hunters laptop.
Like th€ Bill called the Patriot Act!First, this is not a "Border Bill" regardless of the label.
While I have not read the bill in it's entirety, I must ask.... "What's in this bill for me"?
Nothing
They should have put a blaze orange cap on him…..you know, so he won’t get shot.

True, but I think you have Schumer and McConnell backwards... Its painfully obvious Schumer is the dominant one in that relationship...Schumer and McConnell have never worked more closely......
