Hundreds-of-thousands of Americans presently without electricity from Hurricane Helene, may not see their electric power restored soon because the Biden Administration GAVE spare transformers and switching gear to . . . UKRAINE!
While all electric utility companies in the US keep spare pole transformers in supply locally, there is a national reserve of such transformers for situations like Hurricanes, where hundreds or even thousands of such devices need replacing.
But that reserve is now gone because the Biden administration gave the gear to Ukraine, to restore _their_ electric grid after the Russia- Ukraine conflict destroyed it.
Now that Americans find themselves in need of those electrical transformers, there are few (if any) to be had.

Also a few hundred billion dollars we need to repair our infrastructure.
