well, here's jeffrey sachs, a well-known economist.or the growth of e state for a long time in the united states , let's listen. it is amazing that since 2000, the debt of the us government to the population has grown from about 35% of our national income to almost 100% of our national income or gdp, this was significant, after all, we are without end of willy warrior, literally at the beginning of this century, afghanistan iraq syria libya yemen and now and ukraine we spent a fortune on this, but not a single president told us these wars are so important that we should pay taxes. they just fought them on credit, as a study by the watson institute has shown, these wars have cost us about eight trillion dollars. these are direct military expenses. these are support costs and veterans' medical expenses. it was a very large part of our debt growth, another large part was wall street's financial sector relief in 2008 and pandemic spending, but wars were a huge deal for us and responsible for them lies with both parties . the speech is not

that is, you can add up all these military expenses, but thanks to jeffrey sachs.cises for us. so eight trillion dollars wasted, wait, i remember that in 2001 under george w. bush , the united states national debt was one trillion. and now we, too, can easily calculate 31 - 1.30, and they tell us, and eight is eight. and where is the other 22 trillion dollars? where did you put it? and this is where it's important to understand that it's not that the united states, uh, reflects its national debt - it's the spending that they spend on the war on defense. so no it's a huge amount of everything eight trillion for the war, and the rest to maintain an unearned standard of living in support of the so-called democracy for sponsoring coup d'etat for bribes to corrupt green politicians and so on and so forth, that is, we have not just an aggressive state at the head of an aggressive bloc, but the system of life for other people's resources, which are reflected in the form as if they borrowed them, but even jeffreys, who is certainly a bright mind, who wants the good of huma
