Dear Congresswoman Lee, "Let's unpack this one sentence at a time, because you buried a non sequitur and a straw man in a single tweet, and that takes a special kind of effort. "We always have billions for war but not healthcare/housing/Social Security/feeding kids" is a non sequitur — the conclusion (it's all one budget pie, so choosing defense means choosing against kids) does not follow from the premise (the federal government funds both). Here's why: national defense is an ENUMERATED power under Article I, Section 8. It is one of the literal reasons the federal government exists. Madison wrote in Federalist No. 45 that the powers delegated to the federal government "are few and defined," while the states retain what is "numerous and indefinite" — health, welfare, housing, and education living squarely in that second bucket. So no, it is not "a choice" between the military and Section 8 vouchers. One is a core constitutional duty. The rest were never Washington's job to begin with; they belong to the states and the people under the Tenth Amendment. Now, about "no money to feed kids" — let's talk about where the money you already have is going. USDA's Inspector General had to replace $322 million in stolen SNAP benefits in just over two years because the EBT security was about as sturdy as a screen door on a submarine. A Minnesota nonprofit called Feeding Our Future faked up to 125 million meals and walked off with roughly $250 million. A Missouri afterschool-meals director stole $19.7 million and bought a $200,000 Mercedes with it. An Illinois retailer trafficked $8.9 million in SNAP and WIC. A USDA employee sold his own system access to enable a $66 million ring. The money for kids isn't missing, Congresswoman. It's being stolen by people your side keeps insisting need less oversight, not more. So before you demand billions more with zero accountability attached, kindly explain what YOU have actually done besides post a rage-bait tweet. Because Quinn's Law #25 applies here perfectly: liberals are great at giving away other people's money, they just get real quiet when someone asks them to audit where it went. But what do I know? I'm only someone who read Article I, Section 8 instead of skimming a press release."

We see this woman's stupid complaint regularly from the left. It's especially false and ignorant when we see from someone on the federal level who should know what the job entails before they even run for office.
Seeing stupidity from legislators shouldn't surprise us in the least. Seeing legislators be so cavalier about this massive theft from US taxpayers is also not uncommon. Mostly because leftist legislators don't seem to understand that wasting billions of dollars on fraud harms the country and the citizens.
