WIC Faces Cuts While Congress Funds Israel's Iron Dome
Meanwhile, the U.S. Congress, with bipartisan fervor, just passed a bill sending an additional $17 billion to Israel, including $5.2 billion for missile defense and military aid. (Because who needs formula when you have the Iron Dome?) This comes after Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD), a long-time AIPAC beneficiary with over $1.5 million in career donations, spearheaded calls for more aid, even as
constituents struggle. It seems American children, especially those of color and low-income families who largely rely on WIC, aren't as strategically important as maintaining regional 'security' – for a foreign nation. How many babies must starve before we realize our representatives serve Tel Aviv before Toledo?
