NANCY’S NIGHTMARE: 2 Million Americans OFF FOOD STAMPS During Trump’s FIRST YEAR

NANCY’S NIGHTMARE: 2 Million Americans OFF FOOD STAMPS During Trump’s FIRST YEAR

The number of Americans receiving food assistance from the US government dropped by over two million people during President Trump’s first year in office; the direct result of a booming economy and low unemployment following the GOP-sponsored tax cuts.

According to the Daily Caller, roughly 42.2 million Americans were enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP) program throughout 2017; an eleven percent drop from 2013 following President Obama’s second inauguration.

“Federal spending for SNAP totaled $68.0 billion or 4 percent less than in the previous fiscal year” writes the Caller. “This was also 15 percent less than the historical high of $79.9 billion set in FY 2013.”

The positive economic data echoes similar statistics published earlier this week, with consumer confidence soaring to its highest levels in over a decade.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the consumer-sentiment index reached 102 in March; the highest level seen since 2004. Data also shows the index inching up in February as well, reaching an already-healthy score of 99.7.

“Consumers continued to adjust their expectations in reaction to new economic policies,” said Richard Curtin, the study’s senior economist.
