Oklahoma Congressman Josh Brecheen is leading the push to restrict federal agencies from sending taxpayer money to Afghanistan.
The Republican Brecheen’s bill is named the “No More Taxpayer Cash for the Taliban Act.”
The McCarville Report quotes him as saying taxpayer dollars are being used to the benefit of the Taliban. The UN is currently using up to $3 billion dollars in American money to pay for aid to Afghanistan.
When that aid arrives in the Middle East, the Republican congressional group alleges that the Taliban taxes it at different points along the route – and that money can be used to pay for Taliban operations.
