Weapons are very expensive to make, so money must be paid to those who do the work of making them. That money flows into the economy. But there is no product to meet it; you can't buy an Abrams tank with your tax money, although you paid for it. Therefore, the value of the money goes down and we observe -- and suffer from -- significant inflation. This, among other things, is among the reasons why imperialism leads to national ruin. Sometimes there is an appearance of prosperity, but it is based on the expansion of unsecured debt. The bill will have to be paid, or the consequences of bankruptcy suffered.
There is no "tax money" ALL there is THE ILLUSION one usually calls 'money' which effectively is FIAT CURRENCY printed out of thin air as NO-ONE can create something out of nothing, except GOD ALMIGHTY - CREATOR OF ALL EXISTENCE ... EVERYTHING ELSE is THE CULT OF LIES - THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN ... with all its different MACHINATIONS and DECEPTIONS!
Let me clarify for all that come across this comment and get away with the notion that FIAT CURRENCY has anything to do with paper ... it has not. Historically speaking one could have the impression - to say it lightly - but as the screws are being tightened due to panic over losing the precious control - it BELIEVED it has/had - by the headquarters of THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN and new tools available this notion is completely misplaced. FIAT CURRENCY is 'printed' out of 'thin air' be it paper or digits on a ledger. Haven't read the article yet!
I certainly - at times - share your concern. Once I am given pause from worldly matters this concern subsides under the umbrella of GOD ALMIGHTY knowing that A DIVIDED KINGDOM is a kingdom that will not stand ... the world will pass away but THE WORD OF JESUS CHRIST IS GOING TO STAND ETERNALLY!
Sure. God wins. But until then, I'd like for the world to suck as little as possible for my brothers and sisters. Of course, is God not perfected in our need? We live in very interesting times.
Rereading your comment I must add, don't let THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN draw your attention to THE IMAGE - our fellow travelers - as we don't know anything but that GOD ALMIGHTY is taking care of those SERVING HIM.
I certainly admit it is more than difficult to distinguish between one or the other - which is why THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN has so easily diverted 'our' attention away from GOD ALMIGHTY - as only GOD ALMIGHTY knows what is best HE also knows our LIMITATIONS in within HIS CREATION. HE knows that we have only two hands, two eyes.... as long as we admit to HIM that our observations sadden our heart as we are unable to change it based on our limitations. The opposite is true as well that as long as we give a hand to one of our fellow travelers and doing it with a kind heart everything is fine. Equally whenever we act opposite of what we realise we should have done and recognise it as a missed opportunity HE will certainly accept our confession and repentance as long as we accept HIS WISDOM - the consequences HE SEES FIT!
That's right. There is big inflation with every big war. WW II, Vietnam.... After Vietnam inflation was made profitable for big business, which then pursued such with great vigor.
I understand that from the point of view of the political leadership and other bigdeals, that what we usually call money is simply a useful fiction. However, from the point of view of working people and their dependents, who have to work to get it, it's allowed to behave in a real enough manner. If China goes to war, then the price of eggs in China goes up. If the US spend hundreds of billions of dollars on hardware for the Russians to blow up in Ukraine, the value, however fictional, of that funny money still has to be taken from the US either in the form of their labor or their savings or entitlements. (Unless it can be stolen, as in Syria.) I am surprised I have to explain this. Yes, the money is fiction, but force makes it real enough for the lower orders.
EVERYONE - individually - has its own path to walk. But THE TRUTH we all have in common no matter whether someone believes it or not. Those believing in FIAT CURRENCY - Baal in disguise - are going to have a rude awakening not matter how knowledgeable they believe to be about Baal. Your comment misses the point despite all the correctly mentioned properties and dynamics within the system - which is simply a testimony to the CLEVERNESS and thereby DIABOLICAL NATURE of those having concocted it and nurtured the notion within THE MAJORITY that NOTHING exists outside their SYNAGOGUE OF LIES!
I think you missed the part where US fiat currency was being held by almost all nations as the reserve currency there by exporting US inflation to the rest of the world. Over the last 5 or 6 decades the US could print as much as it wanted while maintaining low inflation at home as the reserve currency. Many times massive printing in the US resulted in a stronger dollar as it devalued the local currency of those nations holding dollars. It was truly a masterful move to export our inflation. That game is nearly over with now as American politicians and power brokers are so arrogant they think they can rule the world through the dollar.
Yes, I was limiting my observation to the general fate of empires. I left a number of things out. My view sort of follows that of Paul Kennedy, an actual scholar. It is certainly noticeable that of the modern states who followed the imperial path, most came to moral and physical bankruptcy if not utter ruin and destruction. As for the United States, I said something like "We can now almost write the history of the future." The longer the downfall is held off, the more severe it will be.

Sad irony: once we go electronic only, we'll long for the relative anonymity of that fiat paper.
For those who do not understand, 3 minute read explains the larceny that fiat paper is.

I believe you will find the article worth your time. Share it, we need to awaken others to what God calls an abomination, dishonest scales.
When I mention longing for the anonynimity of paper dollars, contract that with even current electronic dollars ehich sre a trail your / our spending.
