    while the spending has merit the whole idea of CRs by name is to continue current spending. Putting more to it is new spending and should be in a new spending bill not a CR

    Screw the Afghanistans -- Get the Americans out you communist cowards!!! You can't handle anything - no money - jail time is more like it. Mandatory Vaccines - BS on you all. Where are the package inserts for ingredients, Why censor the side effects and deaths that would shut any chemical down in a minute. Grow some and do what is right - just a hint - you are no where close to doing what is right. Kick out the fake government - that is Biden if you don't know.

    Stop giving in to a regime who cares nothing for our U.S. Citizens much less Afganis. This problem is not going to be settled by continually funding the left and their crimes.

    Let’s stop this spending, we already spent billions helping that country, enough is enough. We have problems right in our own country, does Biden and his ilk just disregard the enormous amount of homelessness we have, poverty affecting lower income citizens, children who go hungry day after day? It means nothing to them, they turn a blind eye to the states that allow this homelessness situation to remain. Take care of our own Biden, stop the mass of illegals you sneak into our states, take care of your people first. He bloviates about his position of looking out for Americans, sadly we know he is lying again.

    Gee, if the liberals hadn't "elected" an ice cream gobbling idiot we would never have been in this situation in the first place.

    Bringing home American citizens should be the priority over Afghan allies.

    Before we spend any money on anything, we must vow to spend our money wisely. I realize that we cannot micromanage every single penny, as this would lead to a lot of expensive bureaucracy. But, we need to assure that our taxes are spent for the good of the people.

    Are they "allies" or are they random dudes that stormed the airport? That's important.

    The afghans being resettled here in honor of the risk to them and their families that they took to help our military personnel will need help to become productive members of our society. I think that is a natural extension if our ethical basis for evacuating them from the mortal threat they faced in Afghanistan from their work with us. And of course Congress should fund natural disaster relief, although I think both Congress and state legislatures should create and enforce no build zones in areas prone to disasters such as barrier islands and areas at high risk for flooding and mudslides thus not allowing re-building or new building in those areas.

    FEMA already has a budget for emergencies. The Afghan disaster is a result of administrative mismanagement and therefor should be paid for from the White House and State Department budgets.

    We Americans need help from the climate disasters AND Americans need to help those who helped us during our 20 year Afghan war!

    More money for the Taliban on 9/11? No. The Democrats are destroying the country as it is. Any money that goes to Afghanistan now is headed straight to the Chinese Communist Party.

    The funds of the American people should not be spent w/o their knowledge or consent. That is theft! Furthermore we have lost tons in the Afghanistan 'project'. If any funds are spent, it should solely be for bringing the remaining Americans home. This was an abysmal failure. We cannot fund relocation of a country to ours. That was not our goal there. Elected officials do not have the right to spend our funds as they choose.
