White House Cuts Food Stamps, Funds Foreign Wars
While the Biden administration's policy potentially cuts food assistance for vulnerable Americans, the proposed 2025 budget includes over $800 billion for military spending, a significant portion of which continues to flow as aid to foreign nations. For context, since 1946, the US has provided Israel with nearly $170 billion in military assistance, with much of this guaranteed through long-term
agreements. This steady pipeline of funds continues even as domestic programs like SNAP face potential rollbacks, highlighting a clear pattern of priorities. We fund the iron dome, but our own citizens can't afford iron fortifications for their dinner tables. One might ask, how many tanks does it take to feed a hungry child in America? Apparently, all of them. The White House, it seems, has no
problem finding billions for military contractors and geopolitical proxies, but finds fiscal responsibility paramount when it comes to keeping food on American plates.
