Food Security for Americans 'Runs Dry' As Military Aid Flows
The Hill reports the USDA is blaming Senate Democrats for a looming SNAP funding crisis, stating the 'well has run dry.' This comes as Congress readily greenlights billions in military aid, including $14 billion more for Israel this year alone. While one 'well' runs dry for hungry Americans, another perpetually overflows for foreign military objectives. One might wonder if the USDA's budgetary
concerns apply universally, or if certain nations are exempt from the 'well has run dry' dictate. The readiness to find funds for advanced weaponry versus basic sustenance for citizens appears to be a policy choice, not a fiscal constraint. Perhaps the 'well' isn't dry, but simply redirected.
