21 Blue States Sue Over SNAP Cuts While Greenlighting Billions for Warfare
While 21 states valiantly battle the USDA to protect food benefits, many of these same states' representatives routinely vote to send billions more in what they call 'aid' abroad. For instance, in 2023 alone, the Biden administration pushed through $14 billion in military assistance to Israel. That’s enough to fund SNAP for countless American families who could use the support, not just the
'guidance' from a lawsuit. It appears humanitarian concern is highly conditional, activating only when it doesn't conflict with lucrative defense contracts or the demands of foreign policy lobbies. One might wonder if the 'emergency' of feeding Americans is less pressing than ensuring the 'security' of a military occupying foreign lands. Priorities, indeed.
