On the bright side, most spending doesn't come from taxpayers anymore - all that money is just pulled from some kikes ass.
Doesn't mean we won't ever stop paying taxes or have them raised, just that the (((system))) has stopped using any semblance of economic policy in the last 10-15 years.
All spending comes from taxpayers, because they are the ones giving the currency value. Neither government nor banks nor financial profiteers produce anything that would increase value. They only transfer it to themselves, from you, in different ways.
Every new dollar they print reduces the value of every dollar in your pocket. Just because you didn't see a tax rate increase doesn't mean you didn't pay for this.

Sending pallets of bills to Afghanistan probably causes very little inflation to the average American's wallet. The US can get away with printing large stacks of cash and sending them overseas because there's a worldwide demand for dollars. That's been a boon and generous buffer for all kinds of sins for decades, but we're coasting on inertia now. With the rise of China and other countries and the crumbling American empire, the gravy train is coming to a stop.
The world trades oil on the petro dollar that's what balloons the currency. All that has to happen is for one country to stop doing it. After the US military fails to punish them, the domino effect will see the 'speculated to hell' US dollar crash to nothing.
When this inevitably happens sooner or later, probably sooner as Afghanistan will almost certainly be that first domino. China is then positioned to become the dominant superpower. Russia will fall in line, as they have diligently avoided war for some time and will not want to get involved. Plus they're likely sick of dealing with the US anyway so might not be wildly unhappy with the shift in management.
Have you been to a grocery store or looked at home prices recently?
We were in Afghanistan for 20 years. Prices spiked recently because they paid people not to work during Covid and haven't stopped. There's high unemployment and a labor shortage, which means people aren't going back to work.
Prices have spiked because of covid, but they've been on an upward trend for reasons exactly like handing sand monkeys billions of dollars. And not just for the past 20 years, we have been involved in Afghanistan for 60 years. Printing and shipping billions of dollars only adds to the inflation.

I wonder if the political cost of a 20 9/11 anniversary was the only leverage the Taliban had. Maybe the Taliban managed to get themselves a laptop.

Also, I never agreed to gift this. Therefore it is not a gift from me nor mine.
