On restaurants, it seems wrong for government to give private businesses taxpayer dollars. Lot of voters in the restaurant business has nothing to do with it, of course.

But to compare restaurant survival with Ukrainian survival is almost obscene. Who cannot see the danger to worldwide freedom if Putin prevails? We went to war to defend South Korea and Vietnam, countries half way around the world, and now we can't see the need to defeat tyranny much closer to home?

This Republican is embarrassed and disappointed by some of his leaders, and thanks heaven for Sen McConnell.

I appreciate that and share your support for Sen. McConnell, the best GOP Senate leader of my lifetime. Having said that, it was government that shutdown and deprived businesses of income during the pandemic; government owes them some recompense for their "taking." I don't want private entities to get government money, either, but it seems unfair in this case.
