Cost of Food Stamp Fraud More Than Doubled in Obama’s First Term
4th April 2013
My, what a surprise! Aren’t you surprised? I’m sure surprised.
The USDA stated, “In 2011, program costs totaled $75.7 billion. Using the most recent data on trafficking available, USDA estimated that trafficking would be 1 percent of $75 billion, or approximately $750 million.”
But in the years 2006-2008, the USDA stated, “Trafficking diverted an estimated $330 million annually from SNAP benefits – or about one cent of each SNAP dollar – between 2006 and 2008. About 8.2 percent of all stores trafficked.”
After the free Obama Phone, I guess the free Obama Food is not a big stretch.
