Food stamp usage has declined every month since President Trump took office in January, 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 41,310,785 in June 2017, the latest data available from the USDA, from 42,691,363 in January 2017.

Food stamp usage has been on a steady decline since Donald Trump began his presidency in January 2017, with the latest data showing that SNAP enrollment decreased by more than 1.3 million, or 3.23 percent, since the beginning of his term in office.

Now, if they can just cancel the OBAMAPHONE DISASTER!..................

[wbill]

Just one winning thing after another. How many Billions will this save?

[SandRat]

and cancel any thing he legislated, passed, signed, agreed to, flat out anything.

[Red Badger]

I don’t really know...........but women, children and minorities are hardest hit..............

[Red Badger]

The Obamaphone program is costing billions, and will steadily increase...........

[wbill]

yep. “Trump Starves Millions. Film at 11”.

[floridavoter2]

I guess they’ll say it’s due to Obama’s 8 years in office that we are now seeing this reduction.

[Red Badger]

Of course.

They will take credit for anything that happens in the next 4 years..................

[Leep]

Less illegals

[DaveA37]

“Less illegals”...

Yes, but its most of the “Gibsmedats” that think they have the God given right to live off the rest of the American people.

The Obama phone is

• small potatoes.
• needed for people to get jobs.
• Will shrink as people get jobs.
• Was started by Reagan.

  Let Trump keep building the economy and obamaphone usage will drop naturally. At $10 a month it's a cheap benefit for poor people.

  Go after fraud but don't cancel the program.

[Red Badger]

The fraud is rampant.

Kill it, then redesign it from scratch...................

[DannyTN]

Redesigning it just opens you to more fraud.

Figure out where the fraud is and go after it.

But again, it’s small potatoes.

If someone has 4 phones, and doesn’t really qualify for any, they’re costing us $480/year.

Improve the controls, but Food stamps, medicaid, SS Disability, tax credit fraud are all much bigger targets.

A phone costs $10 a month. Food stamps average household benefit is $253.

Certainly improve the controls, but the phones are nothing.

[Red Badger]

If someone has 4 phones, and doesn’t really qualify for any, they’re costing us $480/year.

Multiply that times a million then it's $480 million.

Times 10 million its 4.8 BILLION.

Now that they know how the fraud is accomplished, it should be fairly easy to negate it, via law and severe punishment.

[DannyTN]

There are 10 million total obama phones is use. Only a portion of those is going to be fraud.

[Red Badger]

I would bet that it’s a huge portion.....................

[dragnet2]

Where are all those con-servatives who are anti Trump? They seem to be as rare as public pay phones nowadays. ☺

I remember during a Nixon-Kennedy debate where Kennedy bemoaned that "a lot of Americans go to bed hungry". Nixon replied "That's because they are on a diet."

Brought the house down.
