When $ was sound $ (tied to gold) war was quick. Govs had to tap into their own gold reserves or tax the people. Once easy gov $$ came around (easy to print more) war became endless. I can’t wait for the separation of Money and State. YAY #Bitcoin

There is no transparency with the military budget so astronomical profits can be asked for and rubber stamped. American taxpayers deserve a return for THEIR investment. Let’s put the needs of a Department of Peace ahead of glad-hand profits.
