(The Center Square) – The 2023 fiscal year is on track to average the highest number of individuals on food stamps in the U.S. since 2016.
There were 42,329,101 on food assistance on average each month on through the first nine months of the fiscal year, as of June 2023, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The fiscal year is completed at the end of September.
That’s the most people on food assistance since the fiscal year 2016 monthly average of 44,219,363.
The fiscal year 2023 overall cost of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps, will be the first time in two years that emergency pandemic relief was not included the full year. Most states dropped the extra COVID-19 stipend by March 2023.
In 2016, the yearly cost of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program was $66.5 billion, or $84.2 billion when adjusted for inflation.
Through the first three quarters of fiscal year 2023, the costs are $85.1 billion, which projects to $113.5 billion for the full year. In fiscal year 2022, the SNAP program cost almost $114 billion.
Brandonomics !!
“The 2023 fiscal year is on track to average the highest number of individuals on food stamps in the U.S. since 2016.”
I wonder if the treasonous, corrupt, Obama’s sock puppet president Joe Beijing Biden’s open border policy and his 8 million (8,000,000) homeless, jobless illegal immigrants that he has imported has anything to do with this food stamps increase? Plus O’Biden’s disastrous Bidonomics?
let me tell you who is not feeling the pinch of demoncrat rule.
the welfare state thats who, it sickens me to go to the grocery store where i spend $100.00 used to be $55.00 or so.
while in front of me in line is a woman of color with 4 or 5 snot nosed kids who may as well have no mother and i know they have no daddy
and she is getting $2000.00 in food stamps while elderly folks get $20.00 a month and when she is done with 2 carts full of groceries she gets in her dodge charger with $20,000 dollars worth of tires rims and bass speakers.
TELL ME WHAT IN THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY?
WE reward out of wedlock kids.. There’s days i honestly wonder, if as a society we went to how it seemed in the film Starship troopers, where to ‘GET A LICENSE TO BREED” one had to ‘serve’, or the like, would stop that crid//
