So. The US Government by way of Congress has given Ukraine (free of charge) approximately 186 BILLION DOLLARS in the last two years. To put that into perspective I picked three of the largest construction projects in American history. The Hoover Dam, Golden gate Bridge, Empire State Building. And broke it all down.
Here's what America could have built with that waste of money.
244 Hoover dams or
279 Golden Gate Bridges or
232 Empire State Buildings
Congress seriously needs to be flushed down the sewer.
Hoover Dam was built for a cost of $49 million (approximately $760 million adjusted for inflation).
How much did the Golden Gate Bridge cost in today's dollars? The project cost approximately $35 million, which is equivalent to around $666 million
The Empire State Building cost $40.94 million to construct, which is equivalent to approximately $800 million in today's dollars when adjusted for inflation
