Food Stamp rolls down 1.1 million under Trump. Work requirements and other policies are effective

Again taking credit where no credit is due.

A continuing trend since 2013.

The number of people on food stamps is at a 5-year low

 

[BlueGin]

At the state level, food stamp enrollment dropped significantly in places such as Georgiaand Alabama once they instituted work requirements for able-bodied adults to receive food stamps. Both states fully implemented work requirements for food stamp recipients in 2016-2017.

More Than 1.1 Million Fewer Americans on Food Stamps Under Trump

Why are there fewer people on food stamps? Is it because the requirements are so onerous that they know they can't comply and don't bother to show up? You really can't say one way or the other because there is no scientific study of the decline. People just put their own spin on it. If you don't give a damn about people, it is because of work requirements. If you are on the other side, people are being starved.

You know the crazy part? Going to school full time doesn't count towards the requirement to get food stamps.

Yes it does

No it doesn't. If you go to school full time, you still have to work 20 hours a week or volunteer.
