The Hill Discovers Democrats Blameable for Everything Except AIPAC
The Hill 's opinion piece declares 'Democrats entirely to blame' for food stamp cuts, a neat trick that conveniently sidesteps the bipartisan dance around federal budgets. These 'cuts,' often cloaked as 'fiscal responsibility,' frequently coincide with ever-expanding defense budgets and foreign aid packages that somehow escape similar scrutiny. In 2023, while domestic programs faced the chopping
block, Congress approved aid packages, including substantial military assistance to Israel. Just to give one example, Rep. Steny Hoyer, a prominent Democrat, has received over $1.5 million from pro-Israel groups throughout his career, according to OpenSecrets.org, consistently voting for such aid. It appears the 'blame game' often shifts focus away from the money influencing legislative
priorities. While families struggle, the legislative focus remains steadfast on commitments abroad. One might ask, if securing food for hungry Americans is a point of contention, why isn’t the funding of foreign militaries? (Perhaps because those donors aren't lobbying for food stamps.)
