Ukraine Aid Passage - Vote Passed (378-34, 19 Not Voting)
On
Tuesday, the House agreed to concur with a Senate amendment and pass a
package of $150 million in aid and loan guarantees to the Ukrainian
government. The vote required a two-thirds majority under the suspension
of House rules. President Obama signed the bill into law on April 3.
Rep. Paul Cook voted YES.
.
I know Ukranians over there and sympathize, but what is $150 million going to buy. In the Ukraine they reportedly have as much in US currency stashed as some of our federal reserve banks.
