Trillions of dollars of tax money is spent. Everybody has their hand in the till. 4 trillion just for the Iraq war where nothing was accomplished and you’re concerned about one millionth of penny so poor people can eat. You’re just jealous someone who you feel is beneath you is getting something for free.
