What the
Check the rest of papers if interested.
Just last week I realized that most of the foreign "benefits" German government sets abroad cannot be paid by taxes alone. The numbers just don't match up for 2023, at least that's what chatgpt tells me.
It's printed money.
I mean it's not a bit better. It's still robbery by inflation.
Yes, countries like the U.S. and Germany rely on money printing, which is translated in different means. Itโs about playing around with debt and monetary policy as the fiat lords wish. They donโt just print cash but use tools like quantitative easing and bond issuance to keep everything flowing. Governments run deficits, central banks step in, and liquidity floods the system. Inflation, when managed, helps pay off debt with cheaper money. Itโs not taxes aloneโitโs this whole structure of borrowing, debt monetization, and sometimes mild inflation that allows them to fund massive foreign aid and military spending. This system keeps the machine going, even if the numbers donโt always add up on the surface.
