Federal Government Spent More on Food Stamps in 1 Month Than Trump Wants for 1 Year on Wall

You won’t believe this!

On Friday, CNS News Editor-in-Chief Terence P. Jeffrey pointed out a staggering statistic: Despite constant foot-dragging in Congress, the sum requested by Trump for the southern border security wall is just a drop in the bucket compared to how much the nation spends on food stamps.

“The federal government spent more money on the food stamp program in October, which was the first month of fiscal 2019, than President Donald Trump now wants the Congress to approve for the border wall for the entirety of fiscal 2019,” he wrote.

Sure enough, information from the Department of the Treasury confirmed that the federal government spent $5,892,000,000 on food stamps through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

And that was just for one month.

And food stamp participation has been drastically REDUCED since the president took office!

Even sadder is that more of it went to people who are here illegally and/or have never paid into the system. Progressives is a term for liars who have pushed the United States so far backward in economics and morals and patriotism that we most likely will never recover.

I bring this up in all the wall debates. The anti-Americans tell me that at least food stamps are doing people some good unlike a wall. Well tell that to parents who's kids are hooked on dope or even died from it. Tell that to family who lost a loved one at the hands of an illegal.
