The US delivers X dollars worth of weapons to Ukraine. In most cases, this is used weaponry that would otherwise be held in a depot waiting for WW3 or desposed of. The US is not taking new taxpayer money for this. Instead older weapons paid for by taxpayers to counter Russian agression...are used to counter Russian agression. Newer weapons like Patriot and Himars are donated but the US gains valuable information from the battlefield in exchange.
I guarantee you that every single weapon sent to Ukraine will be replaced by a new one to rust in the depot, at the tax payers expense. That's the whole point of the Military Industrial Complex; to sell weapons to the government.
