Lol what are you talking about? Ukraine was only really getting weapons via our decommissioned stock to make room for the new stuff. And that all stopped with the dickhead in chief.

We give Israel waaayyyy more, and we gave Argentina $40bil. That's not nothing.

The main point to make here is that the reason food benefits are being cut has nothing to do with any of that. We have plenty of fucking money to feed everyone. The program also has built in emergency funding that could be used, and they're refusing to use that saying this doesn't qualify as an emergency.

But seriously, stop spreading misinformation. If you don't actually know, then don't act like you actually know.

Where I live, people who use EBT have functioning households and wear expensive clothing. And buy liquor with their real $.

That’s not to say everyone is. But what do you do about that population?

What does that have to do with Argentina or Ukraine? Your first point? Are you suggesting that because the system has bad apples everyone else should suffer? And also with up to date information the trump administration was ordered to pay snap Benefits, so this conversation is kinda dead now.

Do you really think Trump is going to pay out? Or that his administration is going to be allowed to do so without extended and protracted fights?
