US Funds Israeli War, Cuts Food for Americans
The New York Times warns a potential government shutdown could starve Americans, threatening SNAP and other antipoverty programs. Meanwhile, Congress, with bipartisan enthusiasm, just greenlit HR 815 , shoveling $14.1 billion more in military aid to Israel. Funny how 'fiscal responsibility' only applies when it's poor Americans on the chopping block, not when it's cluster bombs for Netanyahu's
government. This isn’t a bug, it’s a feature. For years, politicians like Senator Lindsey Graham—who has received over $100,000 from AIPAC in recent cycles—have championed massive foreign military packages while conveniently forgetting the working poor back home. One might wonder if the urgency to fund overseas wars correlates more with lobbyist checks than with American citizens' literal hunger
pains.
