This isn't a LOAN...it's a GIVEAWAY! We'll never see the money!
"House approves $1B loan guarantee package for Ukraine"
The House has approved a $1 billion loan guarantee package for Ukraine, as part of the U.S. effort to support the new government as Russia continues to occupy the Crimean Peninsula.
The measure was approved on a 385-23 vote, and goes next to the Senate. The "no" votes came from conservative Republicans.
The Obama administration announced the energy and aid package on Tuesday, when Secretary of State John Kerry landed in Kiev for talks with the new government.
The White House said the $1 billion loan guarantee was aimed at helping insulate Ukraine from reductions in energy subsidies. Russia provides a substantial portion of Ukraine's natural gas and U.S. officials said they are prepared to work with Kiev to reduce its dependence on those imports.

F I Y : It is very easy to spend (or in this case) give away some one else's money. Heck, with a bit of practice, I could do it. My only problem is I need to get elected to some position. 
I have taken the road least traveled................and now I am freakin LOST !

Why is it if WE take out a loan we have to pay it back but if the gubment proffers a loan it ends up being a GIFT?

We can't seem to find any money to keep our military funded, but have no problem giving it to some foreign country.
