Great... Thanks for showing us who you are....
You would let your fellow citizens die at home but spend Trillions in a Shithole in the middle east....
Ideology has taken over your brain to point of loosing reason... You are worshipping two hundred year old dead guys who by the way expected the Constitution to be updated for modern times...
Those dead guys gave us the ability to create the greatest, wealthiest, and strongest country in the world. You don't see hard working Americans making rafts to get to Cuba, it's the other way around.
Nobody is dying at home from starvation unless they wanted to. We have provided for our citizens for many years. The problem however like most social programs is that they are abused. And don't tell me it's rare because we have more than our share of SNAP's people in our grocery stores and I see the abuse almost every time.
US has one of the highest percentage of people below the poverty line. So US is one of the worst for providing for there citizens compared to other countries...
As for your I have seen abuse therefore it must be everywhere:
"SNAP fraud is relatively rare, according to available data and reports. ... The most frequently cited measure of
fraud is the national retailer trafficking rate, which, estimated that 1.5% of
SNAP benefits redeemed from FY2012-FY2014 were trafficked."
Now you can critize the report all you like but please do it with a report that do the same level of diligence to produce...
"Poor" people in the US live far better than 95% of people in shitholes that make up 75% of the world's population. Oh, and they're tons fatter.
So it is not make America great... Just make us better than a third world country...
So you are happy with America looking up to European Countries, Japan, Australia, New Zealand....
Fatter doesn't mean healthier... US cheap food makes people fatter and generally more sick....
In Germany they look after there most vulnerable because they are German, British look after the vulnerable because they are British....
Being a patriot is not about singing an anthem or raising a flag, it is about helping your fellow citizens when in need... We do this to create a better society for our citizens... That is what real patriots do...
Reality "Poor" US citizens have a bad deal when compare to say a place like Germany... By the way Germany has run a surplus for 7 years straight to 2019...
