'That is messed up'! Are Americans evacuated from Kabul going to end up each owing '$2,000 or more' for it?

Americans and others are slowly being evacuated from the Kabul airport, though the Pentagon says some of the flights are only half full because the Taliban are blocking access (even though President Biden insisted yesterday they’re “cooperating”).

Will Americans who are evacuated on U.S. military aircraft because of the Biden administration’s disastrous non-plan end up owing the government money? It looks like that’s a very real possibility:

State Dept's Overseas Security Advisory Council said Aug. 14: "Repatriation flights are not free, & passengers will be required to sign a promissory loan agreement & may not be eligible to renew their U.S. passports til the loan is repaid. Cost may be $2,000 or more per person." https://t.co/K9bb3xtoYE pic.twitter.com/2pPo3n64dJ

Democrats are trying to spend another $3 trillion and the government can’t find enough to evacuate Americans out of Afghanistan after the mess the Biden administration created?

Biden's State Department is charging American Citizens up to $2,000 to leave Afghanistan where Biden's State Department left them to begin with. https://t.co/i5afMdCnMG

Biden WH has called a lid and there is no one to answer questions about this.

Biden doesn’t take questions because he can’t risk being asked about things like this.

That is messed up. So you manage to make it there after living through an Escape from NY type of environment from across the country, to make it to that packed airport and then its still not free?
