Why are my tax dollars being used in this manner?
because Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent (billionaire former hedge mgr) is friends with another billionaire (Rob Citrone) who is heavily invested in the right wing Milei government.

Because you have a king.
No, we (Aus here) have a King and he doesn't concern himself with our or England's finances.
They have some sort of Dictator.
Yeah, we share the same king and I confirm, he doesn't seem to bother us Canadians at all these days.
Some Canadians are bothered (I'm indifferent), but i think it's more on a moral level rather than from a personal or immediate impact.
Thats simply not true of the UK, the Crown earns billions off the back of the peasents. One example, every sea borne wind turbine pays a tithing to the king so UK citizens have more expensive electricity as one example.
The palace has staff in parliament to advise it if there is legislation it might deem inappropriate to the crown, they obterfer often.
No legislation is legal until it gets Royal Ascent ie the asshole signs off on it. Similarly on Australia where he abdicates rhe job to the GG, HIS representative (not ours).
The Crown has a massive land portfolio and rent seeks billions from many.
The UK crown is toxic as fuck, just becase we have normalised their repugnant behaviour means nought.
The previous Queen witch oversaw the slaughter of millions in the Mau Mai uprising in Kenya as another example
Trumps an arsehole no doubt but he's there becase that's what people wanted, they even had a look back on 2016 amd said we want this shit again bitot was their choice The king should be hung and the royalty disbanded.

Service guarantees
citizenshipTricare. Would you like to know more?Wait, no, military medicine and VA hospitals suck too.
How else is he going to launch his new book and afford the pyrotechnics?
So.. What are these two idiots going to do in a few months to a year when the dollar finally crashes under the weight of all the tariffs and other monetary malpractice committed by the fascists?
Shrug probably. They got theirs, so it is of no concern to them.
a few months?... Mieli burned through a similar amount in like 3 days a few weeks ago
I'm not talking about Captain Ancap using the money. I'm talking about it and the peso purchases becoming worthless due to the dollar crashing.
Gotta lay off more federal workers though, too expensive.
Which America first? North? South? I'm unclear based on current events and past statements.
