'Biden to Send Maui Less than One-Tenth
of One Percent of What He Wants to Send Ukraine'
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/08/31/bide...
What does Volodymyr Zelenskyy have on Biden that Biden keeps sending billions of dollars of American tax payer money and a pittance to help our own here in America?There are 2 issues here. First is that comparing these two situations is apples and oranges, or cherries and watermelons. Second is that this $95 million is nowhere near the sum total of what Biden is offering to Maui, but only one component directed toward a specific goal.
As for Breitbart's manipulative (talk about sheep) comparison.... What does Zelensky "have" on Biden? I guess the same thing he has on all of the other countries supporting Ukraine, and attempting to block Russia's rabid tyranny, in this same way. Russia invaded Ukraine a year and a half ago to destroy their independence and annex them, and set a precedent for taking over other former members of the ex-Soviet Union. And the devastation of towns and cities, and the horrendous loss of life, are horrific. The support needed to continue fighting this enemy and safeguard the current world order cannot help but be astronomically greater than Maui's needs.
As for the $95 million that Biden just announced.... "President Joe Biden announced
**more** federal funding for Hawaii Wednesday as the state attempts to recover from the deadly wildfires in Maui. President Biden said he is sending $95 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to Hawaii to help strengthen the state's electrical grid.
'It means investments to make sure electricity can continue to reach homes, hospitals, water stations even during intense storms and extreme weather,' said Biden."

(Note: The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law was initially proposed by Biden, and he signed it into law in 2021.)
In addition.... $5.6 million has come from FEMA for help to individual families.
In addition... "President Biden made additional disaster funding available to the state of Hawaiʻi, unlocking the federal government's ability to cover all eligible expenses for debris removal and emergency protective measures in Maui County and assistance for emergency protective measures for Hawaiʻi County."

And the situation is ongoing.
