Food Stamp Rolls Plummet Since President Trump’s Inauguration

The US Department of Agriculture has released its newest numbers in regards to food stamp recipients and the results are astounding.  When Barack Hussein Obama was the president, the rolls over his eight years in office were inarguably the highest they’ve ever been in the history of this country, but of course (as we are all now well aware) that was the whole purpose all along…to break the bank of the United States.

Nearly 1.5 million Americans dropped off the food stamp rolls since President Trump’s inauguration in January 2017, according to the latest U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) statistics on food stamp enrollment.
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participation dropped to 41,203,721 as of July 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 decreased by 3.48 percent, or 1,487,642, since Donald Trump began his presidency.
From May to July alone, nearly 400,000 Americans got off of food stamps, and the trend shows that enrollment has been consistently falling every month of Trump’s presidency.
Here is the breakdown of how many people dropped off the food stamp rolls each month of 2017:

January to February – 408,956
February to March – 95,152
March to April – 521,295
April to May- 176,527
May to June – 178,648
June to July – 236,417

Enrollment continues to be at its lowest level in seven years, thanks to policies Trump implemented at the federal level and ongoing efforts from state legislatures to get people off welfare and back to work.
Trump’s 2018 budget proposal proposed cuts to SNAP and suggested that states match up to 20 percent of federal money allotted for the food stamp program.
The president also called for states to expand work requirements for able-bodied adults receiving food stamps if they have not already done so. Some federal lawmakers are crafting legislation to implement this policy nationwide, along with time limits on how long food stamp recipients can receive benefits.

What is even more amazing about these recent numbers, according to the report, is that it DOES NOT take into account the hurricane disasters that took place in Texas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Louisiana and Puerto Rico where the food stamps restrictions were lifted temporarily to assist those in need to receive hot meals and fresh water.  Once these numbers are factored in, the stats will bear out that Donald Trump is indeed a more thrifty president who is inarguably better at managing the taxpayers’ money than Obama or his administration ever was.

These numbers will continue to decline as well as the illegal alien population continues to drop off as well.  Let’s not forget that illegals in California alone account for more than half of all government assistance, including food stamps and healthcare.
