Trump Administration: Starve Americans, Fund Israeli War Machine
The Trump administration's attempt to only 'partially fund' November SNAP benefits, sparking a judge's order for full payment, reveals a selective approach to federal spending. While the USDA claimed delays could 'take anywhere from a few weeks to up to several months' for American families to receive food aid, the logistical hurdles for funding other priorities, say, a $3.3 billion annual
military aid package to Israel, mysteriously disappear. One might wonder why a federal government struggles to ensure its own citizens have food on the table while simultaneously managing to fast-track billions in military hardware overseas. Perhaps the 'logistical challenges' only apply when domestic welfare is on the line, not when facilitating foreign military operations that, according to
Oxfam, have contributed to a global hunger crisis. Funny how that works. (Axios)
