Trump Admin To Feed America, But Only Halfway
The Trump Administration, ever benevolent, announced it would comply with a court order to partially fund US food aid benefits, providing a paltry 50% of the normal amount during a government shutdown. While American families are told to tighten their belts, military aid to foreign nations rarely sees such 'partial' funding. One might recall the consistent, full funding for security assistance to
Israel, which tallied over $3.3 billion annually throughout the Trump presidency, often delivered as advanced weaponry. This fiscal divergence suggests that in Washington, some bellies are more important than others. So, American citizens get a starvation diet by design, while the military-industrial complex and its chosen beneficiaries receive a five-star meal. How many mouths could a B-61
gravity bomb feed? It appears the 'greatest country on Earth' has a peculiar definition of 'greatness' when it comes to its own most vulnerable citizens. Perhaps next time we'll get a full 60%.
