I read that the US spent about $88B training and equipping the Afghan "military". With today's news that comes out to about $8B/day that the Afghan government survived after the Taliban started their offensive.
Of course this is all Biden's fault because, umm, just because it is. He wasn't president when most of this money was spent, wasn't part of the policy decisions, nor any part of the actual implementation. But that doesn't matter I guess when rabid, unfettered, idiotic partisanship rears its head.
It's true that a lot of this pullout was planned and negotiated during the Trump administration, but I am very disappointed in Biden on the way this was implemented. They should have quietly and quickly got the translators and others to Kabul before announcing the pullout. This is a major fail.
