Cruz Explains in Under Two Minutes Why Ukraine Aid and IMF Changes Shouldn't Be in Same Bill

Beware of Ukraine Aid Bill

Conservative watchdog Heritage Action says it will punish any senators who vote for a bill to aid Ukraine.

The threat is not so much about the Stability of Ukraine Act of 2014 as about reforms attached to the bill that are related to the International Monetary Fund. The IMF is not related to Russia's actions in Ukraine and Crimea, the latter of which is now part of Russia.

"Any attempt to conflate the two issues is politically motivated; indeed, the Obama administration is misleading the American people to make these so-called reforms appear urgent," Heritage Action writes on its website. "Alarmingly, the proposed 'reforms' are not even in America’s best interest because they would reduce the power of the United States."

The IMF reforms included in the Ukraine bill, Heritage Action says, would give more voting power to Russia, China, India, Brazil, and others countries. Money in a crisis fund would be shifted, which could, the conservative group says, "expose U.S. taxpayers to billions of dollars in additional financial liability from morally hazardous IMF loans."

The reforms would also take away the power the United States has to appoint its own IMF representative without going through an election.

The Ukraine bill would provide aid in the form of money and guaranteed loans.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Monday that Republicans could be partly to blame for Russia's takeover of Crimea, a strategically situated peninsula on the Black Sea.

"Since a few Republicans blocked these important sanctions last work period, Russian lawmakers voted to annex Crimea and Russian forces have taken over Ukrainian military bases," Reid said. "It's impossible to know whether events would have unfolded differently if the United States had responded to Russian aggression with a strong, unified voice."

Reid said he hopes the Ukraine aid bill is passed.

I am still suspicious of the false charges of rape launched at the old IMF chief. I think it was a conspiracy to get rid of him. He was quickly forced to resign, despite being innocent, and Obama gave full support to his replacement. Since then, we have been giving billions to the IMF and now we are getting sold down the river.

Of course you think it's a conspiracy. It's all you ever have as proof.

| Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced Tuesday that Democrats have agreed to nix the International Monetary Fund provision in a Ukraine aid package, in what amounts to a victory for House Republican leaders and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and a defeat for the White House.
