Trump Admin To Poor Americans: Let Them Eat Cake, But Not Too Much
When it comes to cutting aid, the efficiency is astounding. The U.S. Department of Agriculture wasted no time instructing states to 'immediately undo' any steps taken to disburse full food assistance. This 'undo' functionality seems surprisingly absent when, for instance, we're discussing multi-billion dollar aid packages to foreign militaries – say, the $14.3 billion recently approved for Israel
by Congress ( H.R. 815 ), a bill pushed hard by groups like AIPAC, which lavishes millions on politicians . So, we can cut food to families without blinking, but funds for an occupying military are sacrosanct? Apparently, there's always money for bombs, but a court order to prevent starvation? That's an 'unauthorized' and 'fiercely fought' expense. One might wonder where the 'small government'
advocates are when the government is actually shrinking its own citizens' plates.
