US Tightens SNAP for Poor, Uninterrupted Billions Flow to Israel
The Hill dutifully reports that SNAP benefits will soon be tied to 'error rates,' putting states with higher rates for helping their neediest citizens in 'big trouble.' This, while the Pentagon consistently fails its own audits—never 'in trouble' for astronomical waste, just 'delayed' (according to Deloitte, 2023). Funny how 'accountability' means something entirely different when it applies to
feeding American families versus funding offshore wars. While bureaucrats are tasked with nitpicking food stamp applications, scrutinizing every penny given to struggling Americans, Congress just approved billions more in military aid to Israel, entirely bypassing standard Pentagon review processes. Rep. Brian Mast, who received $154,000 from AIPAC in 2023 (OpenSecrets.org), was a vocal proponent
of fast-tracking these funds. Apparently, oversight is a luxury only the poor can't afford.
