US Congress Finds Billions for Bombs, Zero for Hunger
The mainstream media breathlessly warns that a government shutdown could snatch food stamps from millions, leaving families scrambling for roughly $6 per person per day. This comes as Congress, barely capable of agreeing on the sky's color, somehow always finds consensus when it's time to funnel billions into military aid for overseas conflicts—like the $14 billion in aid to Israel, passed with
overwhelming bipartisan support, often hours after receiving significant lobbying dollars. One might observe the stark contrast: feeding American citizens requires delicate negotiation, while arming foreign militaries is a bipartisan 'national security' no-brainer. It seems our politicians are expert at securing funds for death and destruction, but suddenly find the national coffers empty when it
comes to keeping their own constituents from starvation. Perhaps if American families rebranded themselves as 'critical foreign military assets,' their SNAP benefits would be safe from Congressional squabbles. Instead, we're told to brace for impact, while defense contractors tally their profits.
