The U.S. government gave $1.1 billion in U.S. tax dollars to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan in humanitarian aid since the U.S. withdrawal in August 2021 — and a top federal watchdog says several U.S. agencies are refusing to explain how the money was spent.
In SIGAR’s quarterly report to Congress the Inspector General explains that they are unable to track down how more than $1 billion taxpayer dollars was spent because multiple government agencies are refusing to cooperate.

How fucking stupid can this government get? The taliban run that country. If it starves that's on them. Of course they could have used the money they got selling our billions in military equipment to feed their people.

Please don't ask that question anymore.

So Trump can’t tweet but Biden can fund fucking terrorists. Got it. If we’re going there all is lost.

My feeling that were completely fucked is now being validated on a daily basis.

As if untold billions in military hardware and Bahgram airbase wasn’t enough!

I know $1.1 billion doesn’t hit like it used to but what kind of humanitarian impact could that money have right here in this country? Maybe fix the mental healthcare system that has been completely gutted? Fix the va healthcare mess? Maybe make EMS a third service? Lower taxes even just a little? I doubt a billion would completely fix any of those problems but it wouldn’t hurt. I don’t like the gov just throwing money around but if I had to choose between throwing it at that shithole country or here, I’d pick here.

"Refusing to cooperate". Let that sink in. We have a rogue government.

 

[subsonic]

How much of it is designated to teaching the Taliban pronoun sensitivity though? Implicit bias training? And maybe decarbonizing their opium poppy industry. Priorities!

Easy solution, $0 budget next year unless they can explain it.

No, they're not as "critical" as they think they are. We can do without them I'm sure.
