Almost 6M off food stamps after all-time high under ObamaWith the unemployment rate hitting a 50-year low at 3.5 percent this fall and reaching all-time record low rates for blacks, Hispanics and women, the latest statistics from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reveal that 5,975,739 Americans have discontinued using food stamps under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) between February 2017 and September 2019.
More and more families are now back to work and no longer dependent on government assistance under the Trump administration.
After dependence on welfare skyrocketed under Obama, new regulations requiring Americans to be actively seeking work made millions more reliant on their own income and less on government support.
"At the Great Recession's peak during former President Barack Obama's first term in office, enrollment in SNAP grew by 135 percent and cost taxpayers $78 billion," Breitbart explained. "Food stamp enrollment plummeted after state legislatures passed work requirement reform measures to curb dependency on welfare – requiring food stamp recipients to work, volunteer, attend school, or receive job training for 20 hours per week."
Trump's aggressive policies to get Americans back to work have seen dramatic results.
