发帖数: 29846 | 1 Record Number of Households on Food Stamps-- 1 out of Every 5
April 25, 2013
By Joe Schoffstall
The latest available data from the United States Department of Agriculture (
USDA) shows that a record number 23 million households in the United States
are now on food stamps.
The most recent Supplemental Assistance Nutrition Program (SNAP) statistics
of the number of households receiving food stamps shows that 23,087,886
households participated in January 2013 - an increase of 889,154 families
from January 2012 when the number of households totaled 22,188,732.
The most recent statistics from the United States Census Bureau-- from
December 2012-- puts the number of households in the United States at 115,
310,000. If you divide 115,310,000 by 23,087,866, that equals one out of
every five households now receiving food stamps.
As CNSNews.com previously reported, food stamp rolls in America recently
surpassed the population of Spain. A record number 47,692,896 Americans are
now enrolled in the program and the cost of food stamp fraud has more than
doubled in just three years. |
