In a fiery critique of what she describes as “America Last” policies, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has sharply criticized the House’s approach to foreign aid, particularly regarding the substantial financial assistance being funneled to Ukraine. During a recent session, Greene lambasted the continuous financial support, which she argues does not resonate with American interests or the will of its people.
Greene took to the floor with a bold proposal aimed at drastically altering the U.S.’s financial commitments abroad. “My amendment today would… take each dollar amount in this act is hereby reduced to zero. You see, the United States taxpayer has already sent 113 billion dollars to Ukraine, and a lot of that money is unaccounted for,” she stated emphatically.

The Georgia representative criticized what she perceives as a flawed business model, where the federal government funnels money into the military-industrial complex, continuously funding foreign conflicts which she believes the American populace staunchly opposes. “This is a continuance of a sick business model… The federal government continues to fund the military industrial complex. And this was a business model that requires Congress to continue to vote for money to continue to fund foreign wars,” Greene expressed.
Highlighting the financial strain on American taxpayers, Greene pointed out the burgeoning national debt and the daily increase of financial liabilities—all juxtaposed against a backdrop of unmet domestic needs such as border security and economic stabilization. “The American people are over $34 trillion in debt. And the debt is rising by over $40 billion every single night while we all sleep. But yet nothing is done to secure our border or reduce our debt,” she lamented.
