What we\u2019re going to do \u2014 and it\u2019s been very frustrating, obviously, even to the Ukrainians where they hear these large numbers in the United States as a result of the, you know, burgeoned Democrat bills and the little amount of aid that they receive.

You know, and the fact is, we are going to provide more oversight, transparency and accountability. We\u2019re not going to write a blank check. You know, the last $40 billion package that passed, it was given to us the day of the vote. And members only had a matter of hours to go through all these pages of $40 billion supplemental.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd to be honest, a lot of this went to backfill our stockpiles. However, the Republicans are not going to rule like that. We have a voice now and we\u2019re going to do this in an accountable way, with transparency to the American people,\u201d he continued. \u201cThese are American taxpayer dollars going in.
