3.8 Million Drop Off Food Stamps Under Trump

3.8 Million Drop Off Food Stamps Under Trump
Breitbart Politics, Mar 3, 2019, Katherine Rodriguez

More than 3.8 million people dropped off food stamps since President Donald Trump’s first full month in office, according to the most recent data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

The latest USDA data revealed that food stamp participation dropped to 38,577,141 in November 2018, down by 3,899,257 since Trump took office in February 2017, when 42,134,301 Americans received food stamps through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

Food stamp enrollment also dropped to its lowest level in a decade. The last time overall food stamp participation was this low was in November 2009, when 38,184,306 people were on the government dole, according to USDA data.

[...]

But food stamp enrollment has continued to drop under Trump’s administration partly because of the administration’s efforts to reform welfare programs like SNAP at federal and state levels of government and an improving economy spurred by Trump’s tax reform package.

Food stamp usage has also declined indirectly because of Trump’s proposed efforts to tighten food stamp eligibility among recent legal immigrants.

A recent study showed that food stamp usage among people who recently immigrated to the United States in the past five years dropped by 10 percent.

??? I'd call Trump boosting the economy and putting people back to work a pretty good safety net. 

I don't know about your neck of the woods, but for the first time in a decade, I am starting to see 'help wanted' signs around me.

Also, it has been reported that there are now more jobs then there are people to fill them.

Yet even with enrollment decreases, Department of Agriculture spending still increased.  Instead of returning the surplus funds to the Treasury, leftover food stamp money got spent on something else.  And the Agriculture Department got the same baseline budgeting increase it gets every year even though iess people received food stamps.

If the Administration was going to spend that money regardless of decreased food stamp participation, they could have at least used it to fund the wall.

It is impossible for me to see the drop in SNAP participation as anything but good for society.



Congratulations to President Trump for reducing SNAP participation 4 years before he was elected President, and kudos for barely improving the drop off rate since becoming President.  I would think with the dramatic reduction of welfare leeching illegal immigration over the last 2 years, the rate would be better but...almost as bad as Obama is what this President has always striven for...so mission accomplished.

@libertybele I ws just using a "liberal" made up headline to show sarcasm. I know I should have used the /SARC, but I really thought it was obvious.

   No I didn't read the Article, but how much of this decline is based on State Legislative initiatives and has little to do with the Administration or it's policies?

How curious.  Your chart stops right before the time frame in the article.

No, but I wish I did.  I'd like a comparison between the latter Obastard years and Trump's first couple.  Is it a sharper drop off in either?

Me too.  Does anybody at Trumpbart.com do charts?
