BREITBART;
Food stamp participation dropped below 40 million for the first time in eight years, according to the latest numbers on food stamp enrollment from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
The most recent USDA data reveals that 39,604,428 people were enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)—the program that administers food stamps—as of April 2018. The last time enrollment dipped below 40 million was in February 2010, when 39,588,993 people received SNAP benefits.
The latest data on enrollment shows that overall enrollment in the food stamp program has reached historic lows, reaching its lowest point in eight years.
But food stamp enrollment has been steadily declining over the past few months, keeping pace with the downward trend in SNAP participation since 2013.
Using the latest data from the USDA, here is the month-by-month breakdown of how many people discontinued their SNAP benefits in fiscal year (FY) 2018:

Trump’s message in 2020 “Are you better off today than you were 4 years ago? If so help me fire the rest of those looser’s”
Texas, California and Florida, in that order have the highest number of recipients of food stamps. Who would have thunk?
Of those foodstamp beneficiaries, I wonder how may do not speak English as a primary or secondary language?
No mo cash in de obamastash!
Welfare assistance should be for a finite period of time, say 6 months. After that, get your shit together. Go to your Church/Parents and quit being a mooch.
To most of these leeches, welfare is a vocation.
Still 40 million on food stamps is too many. Begin with the sanctuary cities…stop the free food.
Uh oh, another Obama legacy reversed.
I’m also pleased I no longer see the roadside kiosk every few miles and street corner kiosk within blocks of each other handing out Obamaphones.
