More than 1.1 million Americans dropped off the food stamp rolls since President Trump took office in January 2017, according to the latest U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) statistics on food stamp enrollment.

Participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) dropped to 41,496,255 in May 2017, the most recent data available from the USDA, from 42,691,363 in January 2017 when Trump took office.

According to the latest data, SNAP enrollment during the first few months of Trump’s presidency decreased by 2.79 percent.

Food stamp participation on average in 2017 has dropped to its lowest level since 2010, and the latest numbers show that this trend is continuing.

Trump proposed cuts to SNAP in his 2018 budget proposal, suggesting that states match up to 20 percent of federal money allotted for the food stamp program and expand work requirements for able-bodied adults receiving food stamps.

Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration has also prompted many immigrants, both legal and illegal, to cancel their food stamps over concerns that they might be denied citizenship or deported.

They must be working due to the jobs created by Obama. They no longer need food stamps. A win for all.

Ermmm we can thank the previous administration for current trends. Food stamp participation has been falling steady for a few years now...

 

Those numbers are nothing special under Trump but good try Brietbart!

There are a number of factors in play here 1. The state's are making it harder to sign up due to abuses in the past. 2. There are more jobs coming around for people, my lazy x-wife has a job now and by God that's a miracle. 3.The state's are cracking down on vendors that are buying food stamps from people so they have less of a reason to abuse the system now.

 

I do believe that Obama played a part in it as well. But Trump being president and his pro-business policies have helped as well.

 

#MAGA

That can't be. The most plausible explanation is that these are all jobs created by Trump: Additional SS agents to babysit his family, additional golfing staff at his club, additional security in NY to look after the wife and her son. Not to mention all the demonstrators he paid to attend his rallies. He is creating jobs like there is no tomorrow, indeed! LOL.

You mean all the full time jobs Obamacare turned into part time jobs?
