# Dave Jackson Among other things, the government has wasted $8...

*November 22, 2023 — Comment Archer T. Ships replied to Dave Jackson's comment.*

Dave Jackson Among other things, the government has wasted $8 trillion on the Iraq/Afghanistan wars, which were  financed in large measure by inflation.  Most recently, the Fed's devalued the currency by 30% in 2020.  I don't see crypto-haters speaking up much about that.
