The United States is wasting hundreds of millions of dollars in the aid to Afghanistan, and not to forget to mention that most of the aid that is being given to Afghanistan is also coming out of our own civilian pockets. It's a shame that our federal Government isn't quite handling this situation in a proper manner. Instead our Government is mishandling our taxpaying money. When I mean Money I am not just talking about a small percentage of our tax paying money. On the contrary Billions of money is being spent. As funny as this might sound your tax paying money has been or is in the future going towards aiding Afghanistan. I'm sure this isn't Nothing New to US/U.S., but ask yourself is that really where we as American civilians want to see our hard working dollar to be spent ? I know I sure don't, I rather know that my money is being spent on something that can actually benefit our country, as well as our Economy.
U.S. Tax money going towards The Taliban is the headline today. Not Surprisingly, It might not be publicly shown in the media as it should be, but it happens to be the truth as well. Yes, ''coincidentally'' our money has also increased Taliban presence in many villages. Whoa talk about the root to all evil. Money !!! is money really evil or is it the folks in charged of properly maintaining and funding our dollars. When The USAID interfered with insurgencies to so called build stability in many Afghan villages the least expected occurred. A Taliban presence increased and along come the violence. Now is this where our tax money should be going towards ? The Taliban, which was a so called decreasing terrorist group, yet for some odd reason when ever Billions of money was funded towards an on going war or should I say country. Violence seemed to increase as well as Corruption.
Lastly, why should we the people have to be the ones that are paying millions for a inefficient corrupt riddle of projects. That is not even benefiting Afghanistan or more importantly benefiting The United States, and as a matter of fact is only making Afghanistan Economy weaker. I thought The United States of America was the helping hand. Yet, it happens to be the contrary we just seem to negatively harm Afghanistan. Ultimately our Government is basically wasting Billions of our taxpaying money, which should be used for the better of this country to up-rise us not to behold other countries.
Alfredo Jaimes, author of Nothing New to US/U.S. Expresses his opinion very harshly against America spending billions of dollars. He claims that America is spending unnecessary money to help aid our enemies. He suggests this when he states, “That is not even benefiting Afghanistan or more importantly benefiting The United States, and as a matter of fact is only making Afghanistan Economy weaker”. Although, I do agree with Alfredo on the US spending billions of dollars on unnecessary wars. I do on the other hand disagree when he questioned me, “but ask yourself is that really where we as American civilians want to see our hard working dollar to be spent ?” Yes, America is doing the right thing aiding Afghanistan.
ReplyDeleteWhy do I say this? Because America destroyed more than the Afghanistan country. They destroyed homes and families. America is known to help rebuild back countries after the war because they benefit from it in the long run. Also, it's the right thing to do after killing thousands of innocent people. This leads to Alfredo’s statement “ Ultimately our Government is basically wasting Billions of our taxpaying money, which should be used for the better of this country to up-rise us not to behold other countries.” That's exactly what the US is doing “up-rising us”, by destroying other countries. In analogy the U.S is a bully at school, he beats people up. He does this and then helps them, protects them. And now everyone is scared of the big bully (America). Making America look powerful.
So, in reality, America has always benefited from wars. The controversy of America spending too much money on war is arguable. I do understand the opposition, such as Alfredo. But in my opinion, this makes America seem powerful and although other countries hate us, they respect us. Except Russia, Russia is someone that the U.S does not want to bully. Because when that day happens human race is determined by someone with a nuclear code.
