Broken clocks, also a misrepresentation of how taxes work. The govt spends the money and gambles to gain it back with taxes.
do not celebrate this person. She's brought up "jewish space lazers" in the past.
She's also spouted off Holocaust denial. And not the "The Allies killed 947 billion people at Dresden!" type of denial the misinformed stumble into. It was IIRC "There's no way the Germans could have killed more than a few thousand people because the ovens weren't big enough" type of denial used by neo-nazis.
She later apologized, saying she didn't know it was Holocaust denial/fake news. But never believe the antisemites. She apologized because she got caught. She knows damn well it was Holocaust denial and was using it to pander to her actual, unironically KKK base.
In the case of the US they really don't mind whether they gain it back or not, since the USD is the global reserve currency the US federal reserve and banks can create as much money as they want and the Global South needs the dollars so much that they'll provide the labor and resources necessary for that money to have value.
Sorry to MMT post but I think it's especially ironic in this context, because it means Global South labor is exploited to produce bombs that kill Global South workers.
