An additional 5.9 million people in the United States are on food stamps since the coronavirus pandemic began in March 2020, according to the latest data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
The USDA data showed that in March 2020, the month the pandemic hit the U.S., 37,140,169 individuals were receiving food stamps. Yet in April, that number soared by an estimated 5.9 million to 42,995,224 individuals.

Rat mayors and governors cheer with glee.
I didn’t know they had control over the federal govt.
There should be NO SUCH THING as food stamps coming out of the federal govt.
Stop crying about dem states and focus on the people that are wasting TRILLIONS AND TRILLIONS of our dollars.
Take some responsibility for once no matter what state you live in.
And if you are in a red state....since you love pointing fingers...see where your state lies on the list of states that TAKE more than they GIVE from the fed govt.
Sometimes it sounds like a room full of schoolgirls crying around here.
The FED spends a trillion a year more than it takes in.
This year it will SIX TRILLION more than it took in.
I know, I know...they fell for a left wing, dem state conspiracy
But the buck stops at the President’s desk and along the away, the house and senate of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Now that they have food in Chicago and Portland and Seattle and New York I think it’s ok to stop food stamps to those cities.
Every damn so-call journalist begins with the assumption that "coronavirus pandemic" has caused something to occur. The virus didn't take away 30+ million jobs. It was the frick'n hoax created by Democrats and in turn Democrat actions that cause the results we see today.
Food stamps are for emergencies. They are supposed to be for temporary assistance
This 5.9 million. That’s a headline. I know a family who just spent 5.5 million on a house.
This is supposed to get people thinking Trump is as bad as the Dems. This isn’t like going to the supermarket on a Sunday night during the obama (Let’s change America fundamentally) administration seeing hordes of people lined up with ebt cards, ignoring the 15 items or less sign as if they don’t know numbers, blocking me in, not looking at anyone, refusing to speak English, the store manager rolling out a red carpet, pushing me, a combat veteran, aside
That’s abuse of food stamps. This 5.9 million does not. Pelosi spends that kind of federal money on her family vacation. Michelle Obama certainly did... every year.
Not impressed.
‘ Let me fix this: An additional 5.9 million people in the United States are on food stamps since the coronavirus pandemicDemocrat governors began unconstitutional forced shutdowns of businesses in March 2020’
Ok. Well I read only the headline. Same point though
When we were checking out at Walmart a few days ago, the customer ahead of us had the barest of essentials on the checkout belt. Whole foods. A bag of potatoes, bag of carrots, a few onions, and other seasonings necessary to make an economical, home-cooked meal.
They paid with an EBT card, then turned to me and my daughter, and said “Thank you, this is really helping us out in our temporary time of need.”
Just kidding.
Trump had pared down the food stamp usage really well. They have to get that number back up so our taxes will be used for that instead of crucial needs. Food stamp usage is rampant with fraud. Just another avenue that the Left uses in their destruction of the Greatest Country on Earth.
How can that be with people on unemployment rolls getting an extra $2400 a month? WTF?
That is a lot of licking during the plandemic.
