Not to mention that it is currently providing the bullets and
explosives that are being used to blow up Americans and others
in Afghanistan. You're bleeding money out the front door paying
to send soldiers to the war, and out the back door paying the
Taliban to fight against you. No wonder the country's bankrupt...
Moral or ethical bankruptcy normally proceeds monetary (fiscal)
bankruptcy.

Due to the likes of Clifford Heath.
Jim-out-of-touch-with-reality-Thompson hasn't noticed that Clifford
Heath is Australian.
He was pointing out that one of the consequences of the "US war on
drugs" is that some of the money Americans spend on using opiates to
adjust their mood ends up paying the people who grow the opiates in
Afghanistan, who in turn have to pay a lot of it over to the Taliban
for "protection".
If the US had a more rational system of government, they might have
worked out that they could cut off this source of support to the
Taliban by legalising opiates, growing them in the US and selling them
directly to the US addicts through the medical system. Not only would
they ensure that American addicts got better quality opiates, but
they'd also improve the US balance of trade, which needs all the help
that it can get.
That the US hasn't worked this out for itself does seem to be evidence
of some kind of intellectual bankruptcy.
