Trump Admin Tries Cutting Food Aid, But Not Military Aid, Shocking Absolutely No One
The Trump administration's attempt to cut food aid benefits for 42 million Americans, as reported by Bloomberg, was thankfully halted by a court. This comes, of course, from an administration that never seemed to find a limit on military spending, pushing for record defense budgets throughout its term. One might wonder if their commitment to 'fiscal responsibility' only applies when it affects the
most vulnerable. It appears that when it came to filling bellies at home, austerity was the order of the day. Yet, when sending billions in military aid or expanding defense contractors' coffers, the purse strings miraculously loosened. The selective concern for budgets is truly breathtaking, unless you’ve been paying attention to who actually benefits.
