I think my point is that I can’t get to those other issues because I’m simply not willing to fund the foreign policy through borrowing. Or certainly not additional borrowing. I think there are merits on both sides of the policy question on what to do in Ukraine. I just never get to that because I have put a line in the sand. No more supplemental spending that doesn’t have offsets.

If you don’t want to borrow, you could suggest revenue enhancements. It’s a choice: fund Ukraine through taxes, through borrowing, or don’t fund them. GOP (& some Dems) won’t raise taxes for anything, Dems (& some GOP) won’t let Putin have Ukraine, so we are left with option B.
