It's hard to say how things will ultimately turn out, if the war between Ukraine and Russia persists.
One thing's for sure.
And that's the continuous manifesting issues turning up within this now FRAGILE consumer economy.
Overseeing expenditures initiated by Congress, is all but gouging the pockets of the U.S. Citizens.
The effects have left many to face an aggressively inflated economy, and the level of taxation isn't slowing down.
Instead, it's revving up!
As summer nears, so does the continuous rising gas prices that will really stick it to us through the reminder of 2022.
Political figure Henry Kissinger even came out of the woodwork, suggesting that Presidents Putin and Zelensky need to end the war.
It's an admiral request said by Kissinger, even so, will that be enough to end this war conflict?
I DON'T THINK SO!
It's gotten so bad that even Russian citizens are now revolting against the actions of Putin.
They're ordering him to bring this ongoing conflict to an end!
To worsen matters, is the status of Vladimir Putin's health.
It has been stated that he's dealing with a supposed cancer illness (some reports went as far to claim that he's suffering from Parkinson's disease).
Now how true that statement is, it's hard for one to say, when you're dealing with situations such as this...
ANYTHING GOES!
Yesterday, the Russian president’s spokesman said in an interview that Putin’s health is really perfect.
That doesn't bolster much reassurance amongst Russian citizens.
His own people think he's suffering from acute anxiety, and that he's on the verge for a mental breakdown.
And while that's one aspect to consider, comes the costs of this ongoing war.
Over the past few months since the campaign has run its course, Ukraine alone faces $92 billion in structural damages.
Where is all of that money heading off to?
While the cost of weaponry and supplies lost in Ukraine tallied over a whopping $600 billion!
Most of the money, of course, was issued by the United States Government through Congress to ensure Ukraine a victory over Russia.
However, there's a much-needed answer for that burning $64,000 question...
Who will have to pay for all of this senseless spending?
One can surely say that Ukraine WILL NOT be issuing any I.O.Us to the U.S. Government.
And you damn well know Russia isn’t picking up that hefty bill!
No Siree!
It will get put on the tab of the U.S. taxpayers who will be paying for GOD ONLY KNOWS how long the war pursues.
In the meantime, people are dealing with hefty consumer goods taxation. And thrown on top are interest rate hikes, and mounting excise tax hikes.
It's already understood that the gas tax will continually skyrocket to ridiculous proportions!
And that doesn't include property tax hikes, and the major industry taking hit in all of this centers around transportation.
People are worried about the high gas prices; they're having a hard time trying to make it to their jobs!
And you can just forget about relying on public transportation services, because the price there is on the rise as well!
What many people may not know, is that it was a proposed bill that was issued by the D.C. Council.
And it was later approved by members of the Congressional House back in 2021.
And this led us to this HUGE motor fuel tax rate increase, that originated from the "Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax Amendment Act of 2020."
And it has lived up to its name rather well, because citizens are now left to deal with nearly $6 gallon gas prices in various states.
The solution however did long exist, for all it would take is for both Presidents Zelensky and Putin to put aside their differences and call for a truce.
Egos need to take a backseat here, because the longer this war continues on, the more loss of lives it will turn out.
As for the United States...
They need to usher support for peace, instead of tossing billions more to Ukraine for continual fighting!
The bigger focus now falls on all of the chaotic mayhem centered around the school system.
And I'm sure the last thing people want in the U.S. now, is a senseless war conflict with Russia.
Because people have had ENOUGH, and they're ready to resolve this wartime matter!
And they're not just doing it for themselves, they're doing it for the future of the children!
