Go to any Walmart Super Store the first of the month in New Mexico an the lines stretch to the back of the store with many having two or three baskets full of stuff.

I would have expected New York to rank higher.
Anecdotally just about everyone who applies there gets rubber-stamped it seems.

They must mean “highest percentage of population” and NOT “greatest number” because California probably has more people on food stamps than actually live in New Mexico.
There is no way NM is #3 based on actual numbers.

I just noticed that the only three states spending under $10 per capita have at least three of the following the following four demographics in abundance:
- Energy workers.
- Cowboys and cowgirls.
- Mormons
- Conservative voters.
Why do you suppose that is? Could the other states learn something from them?

Of the top ten states, eight are red states. Oregon and New Mexico (which has a Republican Governor and purple legislature) are the outliers. DC isn’t a state and shouldn’t be counted. We need to be holding our red states to higher standards.

Oregon? That seems a bit surprising compared to some others on the list above it.

It was worse in Espanola before the casinos came along. With the casinos, meth labs and Los Alamos, there is money to go along with the food cards. Walmart is crowded all the time.

Maine? I used to think the same thing. The entire state is not Kennebunkport. When you go out into some of the rural counties, there is a lot of poverty. The paper industry has had a terrible last few years. Almost 1 in 8 people are below the poverty line. And then on the coast, you will find some of the most expensive real estate in the nation.
