US Can Fund Wars, Not Lunch for Guests
Americans might be surprised to learn that Ukrainians in the US are losing food assistance, according to RT, due to eligibility changes for SNAP benefits. This happens as Congress routinely approves massive aid packages to Ukraine, often totaling tens of billions in military and financial support, like the recent $61 billion package in supplemental aid. Apparently, there are fiscal limits, just
not for weapons manufacturers. While Congress scrambles to arm one conflict, domestic support for refugees navigating a new country gets trimmed. One might wonder if the 'humanitarian' part of foreign policy budget applies only to those who can buy a HIMARS system. The message is clear: if you seek refuge but can't fuel the military-industrial complex, perhaps budget cuts are in order. War is
expensive, after all, but apparently food for war's victims is a luxury.
