It's quite interesting that the recent Ukraine funding - $800 million is equal to the amount of the COVID stimulus payments (all of them). I honestly wonder if there were plans floated for another stimulus round... then they were like "nope; inflation is bad, we're done with COVID, let's not give the poors any more money."

$800M? Or $800B?
You're right, it was $800B, not $800M! I did misread it.

Pretty sure both the amount of COVID relief dropped and the (latest round of) Ukraine "aid" added were around $15B.
If you're taking any the stimulus yeah, not the Ukraine aid
