Executive Summary

The US is supposed to be set up as a republic. However, under the $40 billion Ukraine bill, there was no time allowed for reading or debating the bill.

Introduction

The founding fathers brought up factions as a significant threat.

The Reality of How Bills Are Voted Upon

This video describes the $40 billion bill approved that no one in the House or Senate read.

Just as voters do not need to be informed (as long as they vote for the preferred party), none of the representatives have to read or even should read the legislation.

Look at this video, and you can see the $40 billion is just a giveaway to the Pentagon and defense contractors — and no one had time to read the bill. The leadership in each party just said, “sign it now or be punished by leadership.” Under a republican form of gov, this could not happen. Bills would be read and debated. But the US does not have a republican form of government in reality. So we have representatives, but they are told how to vote, and they must vote quickly. If they don’t vote as instructed, the leadership will punish them.

The public will vote for people to go to the Senate and HOReps; however, once they get there, they have their votes controlled by large donors. The bills passed are entirely crafted around what these donors want. So representatives are sent, but they don’t have any freedom in their voting to represent those that voted for them.

In this way, it barely matters who is voted into office to represent the voters. This is why it is important not to simply follow the “official setup” but how the setup works in practice.

Rand Paul Critiqued for Critiquing the Bill

Rand Paul brought up the point that the $40 billion bills have no provisions for how the money is spent — so the whole bill is just a corrupt slush fund. And Rand Paul was critiqued for asking for oversight on this bill.

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday slammed Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) for delaying a $40 billion Ukraine aid package by one week, calling the move “repugnant” and predicting the legislation will pass the Senate Thursday.

“This should already have been done and over with, but it is repugnant that one member of the other side, the junior senator from Kentucky, chose to make a show and obstruct Ukraine funding,” Schumer said on the Senate floor.

“For Sen. Paul to delay it for purely political motives is to strengthen Putin’s hand,” he added, noting, “the vast majority of Republicans want to see this legislation done.”

Paul objected to passing the legislation last week, insisting that leaders add language to the package to give the Afghanistan inspector general oversight of how humanitarian and military assistance is spent in Ukraine.

Paul said Monday that voters in Kentucky have applauded his effort to slow the $40 billion package.

“I went home and I had a standing ovation from 200 people at a Lincoln Day dinner, who all say, ‘Thank you for holding up this money. We need help at home. We can’t get baby formula. We can’t pour our gas,’” he told reporters. – Yahoo

Rand Paul seems quite confident that his constituents did not want him to sign the bill. But the leadership and Chuck Schumer do not care what the voters of the representatives think. You see, this is how bills are pushed through. The leadership proposing the bill states that there is no time to discuss the bill and that not passing the bill will mean some terrible outcome. Schumer was opposed to adding safeguards to the bill and funding for an inspector general to reduce the likelihood of these funds being spent corruptly, which is a constant problem with these aid bills.

Sign The Bill Immediately!

The bill was written as general as possible and created what is, in effect, a slush fund that is guaranteed to have large amounts of waste. Some of the funding will find its way to connected family members of those in office that work for different NGOs and will have similar predicted effectiveness as all of the money wasted in funding Afghanistan.

Furthermore, the bill was introduced and then demanded to be passed on the same day. This means that the leadership did not want the representatives to read the bill.

Conclusion

The US leadership in the Senate and House of Representatives controls how all other representatives vote. This means that these representatives do not represent the voters, which is why the US cannot even be called a republic.
