As Twitchy reported, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is in Ukraine today in order to hand President Volodymyr Zelenskyy with a giant novelty check for $1.2 billion.

It’s almost funny – Biden showed up in Ukraine with a $500 million check – but Yellen? She’s not messing around, $1.2+ BILLION. And the promise of $9 BILLION more.
Where is all this money coming from?

Secretary of State Antony Blinken appeared on CBS News just a few days ago and noted that the American taxpayer has been “incredibly generous” with Ukraine. Quite a few people noted that maybe “generous” wasn’t the correct word, seeing as they had no say in whether the money was given in aid or not.

On Monday, Blinken pledged an additional $444 million in aid to Yemen, bringing America’s total to more than $5.4 billion. And once again, he noted the generosity of the American people:
“As one of the largest donors, this brings our total to the humanitarian response in Yemen to over $5.4 billion since the conflict began. The United States’ commitment to alleviating the suffering of millions from the world’s worst humanitarian crisis in Yemen remains resolute,” Blinken said in a statement.
The secretary said the new millions in aid are “exemplifying the continued generosity of the people of the United States for the people of Yemen.”

It feels good to be so generous, doesn’t it?
Oh, thank goodness. Started to worry that our tax dollars weren’t being spread out to enough countries.

No more. Stop it.

Well, @SecBlinken better be taking that from his own coffers then, because I don't recall ever seeing that as a Constitutional use of taxpayer money.

You get to bask in the warm glow of your continued generosity.
