Obama just wants our money so he can spend it on lost causes. He gave $1.3 Billion to the Muslim Brotherhood, over $500 million to a company that went bankrupt, and now he wants to give another $1 Billion to a country that may be weeks, possibly days from being nonexistent.
Obama's reckless spending without congressional approval is getting out of hand. Every one of these examples took place because Obama went around rules meant to protect the taxpayer.
U.S. pledges $1 billion in aid to Ukraine
WASHINGTON The Obama administration announced $1 billion in economic and energy aid to Ukraine on Tuesday, part of its emerging response to Russian military activity in Crimea.
President Obama, aides and allies are also considering a number of economic sanctions against Russia for its incursion into the Crimea region.
The administration announced the assistance package for Ukraine as Secretary of State John Kerry landed in Kiev early Tuesday for talks with the new government.
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said the United States has been working with allies on a package to "help the Ukrainian government implement the reforms needed to restore financial stability and return to economic growth."
In a statement, Lew stressed the need for continuing reform in Ukraine: "The United States is prepared to work with its bilateral and multilateral partners to provide as much support as Ukraine needs ... if the new government implements the necessary reforms."

Secretary of State John Kerry says the United States is planning to provide Ukraine with $1 billion in loan guarantees and will consider additional direct assistance to the former Soviet republic.
Speaking to reporters at the State Department on Wednesday, Kerry said it was "urgent to move forward" in assisting Ukraine following the ouster of its Russian-backed president. But he said it was also urgent for Ukraine's interim authorities to enact reforms, curb corruption, and prepare free and fair elections.
The U.S. aid would be part of a planned massive international assistance package that was expected to include European contributions as well as loans from global financial institutions.
