Money for war and repression, no money for food and healthcare

[Stalin]

Nothing illustrates the inadequacy of capitalism in general and the usa in particular that the current bankrupt
us administration and their billionaire lickspittles than the current "crisis".

How come the "richest nation in history" cannot feed it;s citizens ?

Justice is for the rich and the law id for the poor..

"..The longest government shutdown in United States history continued Friday. The Trump administration doubled down on its hunger policy aimed starving 42 million Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients as part of an ongoing war on the working class, aimed at shifting the entire burden of the crisis of capitalism onto workers and their families.

In major cities and small towns across the United States, home to the most billionaires in the world, workers and their families are lining up to receive emergency food rations. From Philadelphia to San Antonio and Seattle, workers, retirees and students are queuing up at churches, mosques, synagogues and community centers for food.

While the administration claims there is “no money” for food stamps, it is spending millions of dollars a day on war and repression. On Thursday night, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced yet another war crime in the Caribbean, a “lethal kinetic strike” in international waters that killed three so-called “narco-terrorists” without charges, trial or any pretense of due process.

The US government has billions of dollars to deploy thousands of troops to menace Latin American governments and murder boaters, but the Trump administration is arguing in court against funding SNAP, the largest anti-hunger program in the US.

On Friday, a federal judge rejected the Trump administration’s appeal to stay a previous injunction that required the administration to fully fund the SNAP program.

Following Friday’s ruling, Trump’s Justice Department immediately filed an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court. Late Friday evening, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, appointed by President Joe Biden, temporarily blocked the lower court’s order requiring the Trump administration to resume full SNAP payments.

In its appeal Friday before the District Court, Justice Department lawyers argued that the injunction “makes a mockery of the separation of powers.”

The claim is laughable. Trump himself has shredded the supposed separation of powers and the Constitution. In the last 10 months, the administration has waged undeclared wars across the Caribbean and Pacific, illegally bombed Iran, imposed tariffs and taxes by decree without congressional approval, and, through manufactured “national emergencies,” unilaterally deployed military and federal forces in major cities to detain and deport immigrants and harass and kidnap workers and students.

Less than a week after Trump hosted a “Great Gatsby”-themed party at Mar-a-Lago, government lawyers argued in court that funds are not available to finance both school lunch programs and SNAP recipients, many of whom are children. The Justice Department’s brief argues that fulfilling the court’s order would “force USDA (US Department of Agriculture) to permanently impair the Child Nutrition Programs to the tune of $4 billion” and insists that “the equities and public interest cut strongly in favor of a stay.”

They had a knees up at mara Lago where two Australian racist bigots were invited. One snagged off the country that reared her.

Imported food and wine and no expense spared but no money for the people and snap.
Welcome to the united states of fascism suckers.

Nothing highlights the ignorance and lies of communism more than the stupid idea promoted by democrats looking for dumb votes by promising them free stuff.

Mamdani promised free childcare. How can that be free unless childcare workers do not get paid? Mamdani promised free bus rides. Who will be paying the drivers and paying for the gas? Someone always has to pay for the 'free' stuff, but democrat politicians fool dummies into thinking free is really free and nobody has to pay anything.
