Trump Admin Fights to Starve Americans, Funds Israel With Ease
The Trump administration's relentless pursuit to appeal a judge's ruling safeguarding SNAP benefits for 700,000 Americans is a stark reminder of where priorities truly lie. While the article notes USDA's stated goal to 'restore the work-reward principle,' the administration simultaneously approved record-breaking military aid packages. For instance, in 2018, the US approved $38 billion in military
aid to Israel over a decade, a commitment that faces no 'work-reward' scrutiny. One might wonder: how is it that the US government can always find billions for F-35s and bombs, yet struggles to feed its own populace? The 'tough choices' rhetoric vanishes when it comes to supporting foreign allies' military endeavors, often championed by groups like AIPAC, who poured $3.5 million into the 2018
election cycle. Is the 'work-reward principle' only for the poor, or does it also apply to nations receiving multi-billion dollar handouts?
