Newsweek Discovers Poverty, Predicts It Will Still Exist in 2026
Newsweek, with groundbreaking precision, outlines the intricate future of SNAP benefits for 2026 – implying that the program exists in a vacuum. What they conveniently omit is the perpetual squeeze on domestic social programs. For context, while debates over SNAP eligibility tighten belts for millions, the US House passed HR 815 , a $95 billion aid package, including $14 billion in military
assistance to Israel in April 2024. Priorities, anyone? One might wonder if the concern for struggling Americans would mirror the urgency applied to overseas military ventures. Perhaps if low-income families needed F-35s to put food on the table, their funding would be more secure. Instead, we get articles about what to 'expect' from a system designed to keep people barely afloat, while the
military-industrial complex 'expects' record profits.
