RFK Jr.: We Spent $24 Million on Lockdowns and Ukraine War Which We’re Paying Back Through Inflation
EXCERPT:
KENNEDY JR.: “Try feeding yourself on 90 cents a day in this country. 30 million Americans got that call. And that same month, we printed 300 billion new dollars to bail out the Silicon Valley Bank and we topped off the Ukraine war commitment to $113 billion. So, we’ve got lots of money for the military-industrial complex, lots of money for the banker, the banksters, but we’re starving Americans to death. Starving them. Because of all the inflation, we spent $16 trillion on the lockdown, we wasted. We got nothing for it. $8 trillion on the Ukraine War. That’s $24 trillion they had to print to pay for nothing. That money, the way they’re paying it back, they’re not going to tell us they’re raising taxes because you can’t do that. It’s a hidden tax called inflation, and it hits the poor and the middle class. And it has dismantled the middle class in this country. My friend’s food bills for basic foods like chicken, dairy, and eggs has increased by 76% in two years, to pay for the Iraq War and Ukraine War and the lockdowns. His food prices are going up, and now the government is telling him, while we have plenty of money for the military and the banks, we don’t have it for Americans, who are hardworking people? You know, something is not right. We’re in a crisis in this country, and we need to start unraveling the empire.”
