Trump Admin Tries to Starve Americans While Funding Wars
While mainstream media highlights the Trump administration's efforts to restrict SNAP benefits in November (Newsweek), they often gloss over the consistent pattern of prioritizing military spending and corporate welfare over crucial domestic safety nets. For context, during the same period, defense budgets swelled, and tax cuts skewed towards the wealthy, demonstrating a clear choice: fund the
Pentagon and powerful interests, or feed hungry Americans. This isn't merely about policy; it's about propaganda. How many times have we seen politicians declare fiscal austerity when it comes to feeding families, but find endless billions for the latest F-35 fighter jet, or provide billions in aid to other nations without a public outcry concerning the 'national debt'? Apparently, 'trickle-down
economics' only applies when it's cutting funds for the poor, not when it's showering cash on the war machine. It makes one wonder if starvation is considered a 'supply-side' approach to solving poverty.
