“Many, let’s not forget, believe America is heading for bankruptcy. The deficit is massive, the national debt is exploding, and underneath it all lies the underreported but truly eye-watering figure of $175 billion, which is what the US Treasury projects it will need to actually fund its social safety net. And what is America’s political class doing in the face of this looming fiscal disaster? They are quite literally borrowing money to send to Ukraine and Israel instead — a move that, in the corporate world, would be considered asset stripping.”

As one of our leading congressrats so politely pointed out, most of that money doesn't actually go to Ukraine, it goes to US military contractors who manufacture weapons to send to Ukraine. Since using weapons quite literally destroys wealth, it doesn't really matter who gets the weapons or whether they're even used. The real purpose is wealth redistribution from the US tax donkeys on dollar savers to the military industrial complex, the banksters, and their political puppets.

This is classic looting of the Treasury, the typical last gasp of dying empires throughout history.

“US tax donkey” is my new go-to. 👏🏼
