US Government Can’t Feed Its Own, Funds Endless Wars
The Associated Press reports judges are weighing the fate of SNAP food aid for millions, threatening to halt benefits for the first time in 61 years due to a government shutdown. This unfolds as the US regularly greenlights billions in military aid to other nations, often citing 'national security interests' that somehow never include feeding its own citizens. Think of it: the government can't
find money for hungry families, but somehow always locates another $14 billion for offshore military endeavors. (This is the same government that just passed HR 815, allocating such funds, often with bipartisan support from politicians who took significant donations from groups like AIPAC. Just sayin'.) Apparently, defending 'democracy' abroad is fiscally responsible; preventing starvation at home
is not.
