Food Stamp Usage Falls to 37 Million for First Time Since October 2009
Overall participation in America’s food stamp program fell to 37 million for the first time since October 2009, according to the latest statistics released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
The most recent USDA data revealed that 37,911,631 people received food stamps through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in December 2018, marking the lowest level of overall participation in the nation’s food stamp program in nearly ten years.
The last time overall participation in food stamps reached this level was in October 2009, when 37,672,818 people were on the government dole, according to USDA data.

This drives Democrat politicians crazy.
But the record food stamp participation was a hallmark accomplishment of the Obama administration.
Another Obama legacy being abolished. Yeah Trump. MAGA! I wonder if any Democrats get it yet? Just what MAGA means? This is what Trump is all about, and why Democrats are hell bent on stopping him.
Trump, the true anti-socialist!
