During the government shutdown, the lid was blown off the giant scam that is the SNAP program.
The USDA launched an investigation into widespread fraud happening in the food stamps program, and what they found was just astonishing.
In an appearance on Fox News’s The Ingraham Angle, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins dove deep into the numbers.
Over 5,000 dead people are currently getting SNAP benefits, as well as 500,000 people getting it twice under the same name! And that’s only in twenty-nine states that complied with the USDA’s investigation. The actual numbers across all 50 states may be even more stunning.
BREAKING: In a jaw-dropping revelation, Sec. Brooke Rollins found 5,000 Dead People getting SNAP, and 500,000 People getting SNAP “2 times under the same name.” And that’s just what they’ve confirmed… “This light has now been shined one of the most CORRUPT, DISFUNCTIONAL programs in American history!” “80% of able-bodied Americans – they can work, don’t have small children, taking care of an elderly parent. They can work, they choose not to work, because they’re getting significant benefits from the taxpayer!” “VERY big announcements coming next week on this…we have a plan to fix it!”
The SNAP program, which is supposed to provide temporary assistance to citizens going through a rough time, has become a huge, expensive burden on the working, taxpaying American. In case you’re wondering, SNAP costs the U.S. taxpayers a whopping $100 billion per year, with roughly 42 million people receiving benefits from the program. A huge fraction of that is not going to poor single mothers or the sick or the elderly. It’s going to able-bodied Americans abusing the system at the expense of everyone else.
Secretary Rollins promises that SNAP reform is on the way, with a “very big announcement” coming next week. Perhaps the best thing to do at this point would just to be to cut it off for everyone and make them re-apply, with proper vetting this time.
