About $700 billion was earned during Ahmadinejad\u2019s presidency. However, when Ahmadinejad\u2019s eight-year term ended, he left nothing but a ruined, bankrupt, and devastating economy. In addition to the theft and looting of a nation\u2019s assets through those around him and corrupt ministers of his cabinet, Ahmadinejad spent the country\u2019s income to fund the Revolutionary Guards, internal repression, exporting terrorism abroad, and Iran\u2019s missile and nuclear programs.
