Rep. Eric Swalwell represents California’s 14th congressional district in the House of Representatives.

As the House of Representatives finally considers a bill to provide Ukraine with desperately needed aid, one of the critical facts getting lost in the public discourse is just how much of that money actually gets spent in the United States. Republicans who are working against Ukraine aid are also working against American jobs. Aid for Ukraine isn’t just good for Ukraine. It’s good for our economy. Consider the following figures: $75 billion, 57%, and 32.

Without our leadership, many of our allies would be forced into unholy alliances with some of our biggest global competitors, adversaries and/or state sponsors of terror organizations. U.S. companies strive to stay ahead of the curve and protect our freedoms, and those of our allies, with the best weapons available. With the welcome addition of Sweden this year, the North American Treaty Organization now has 32 member states — meaning America is not alone in the effort to help Ukraine.
