Did you know the Dept of Agriculture under the Obama administration ran a series of TV commercials to encourage people to apply for the food stamp program?

Our President is turning the country around from the mess he inherited from Obama!

Obama was the “food stamp president”

Dem-progs will find this “troubling” and claim Trump wants poors to starve to death.

Regressives need people to be depend on the government. It's how they can control them.

These are the "by any means" people that support Antifa...etc. They need the system to control people.

I thought it was odd for that number to be so jarring yet not the headline. Looks like the months before had an odd spike.

ETA: Just look at the left two (I guess three?) columns. You see a jump from 41M to 42M then up to 45m then back down to 41m.

Are people eating less groceries when they get off food stamps?

If they have to operate under a new budget that isn't comparable to SNAP benefits, perhaps. Wal-mart is by far the largest recipient of SNAP transactions and a complete elimination of the program would probably frick up their bottom line tremendously.

But that's a different scenario than segments of people no longer financially qualifying for food stamps. I can't believe that retail establishments are somehow worse off, in the long run, with customers who are actually financially able to pay for things themselves versus needing to depend on government vouchers to do so.
