A Rebirth Of Self-Reliance? Food Stamp, Welfare, Medicaid, Disability Rolls All Dropping Under Trump

Welfare: Earlier this month, the government reported that enrollment in food stamps plunged by nearly 600,000 in one month. Is this part of a broader trend toward greater self-reliance?

The Department of Agriculture, which runs the food stamp program — officially called Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — reports that enrollment in January was 40.7 million, the lowest it's been since May 2010.

In the months since President Trump has been in office, the number of people collecting food stamps plunged by nearly 2 million.

The same is true for welfare. Enrollment in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program dropped 12% last year, to reach 2.3 million.

Better still, the number of workers on Social Security Disability Insurance was down to 8.6 million in March — a decline of more than 100,000 since January 2017, and the lowest level since February 2012.

So far this year, disability applications have averaged 179,000 a month, compared with more than 193,000 a month in 2016. And the number of people dropping off disability rolls is up.

The American people keep winning and the democrats want to stop it.

There are high expectations, low expectations, and reality.

Reality says that no matter how high you set your expectations, some people aren't going to meet them. Usually, because they can't for some reason.

Reality says illegals with no education and can barely speak English can make it in the US. Tell me again why ANY able body American with access to free public education and guaranteed college/trade school loans is reliant on the government in a booming economy?

The hardcore poor are totally dedicated to their chosen profession....They have an amazing commitment to their lifestyle of being a parasite...Even communists had a slogan, "If you don't work, you don't eat."............... :nana:

Starving? Our liberal friends are claiming it's nothing short of a modern weight loss miracle! Venezuelans have reportedly lost 19 pounds on the average from the effects of socialism in just one year. For a single person to lose 19 pounds in a year is no small feat. For a whole country to have averaged such a loss is simply...revolutionary!

Socialism to the rescue.

My grandparents were all dirt poor immigrants the either didn't speak English or spoke with thick accent. All nine of their children went on to become very successful, several became millionaires. All the men served in the armed forces, not a single welfare recipient in the bunch. How did that happen?

It is my opinion moral poverty is today's root cause of financial poverty.

That and the soft bigotry of low expectations.....

OP does it all the time....Tsal does it for his own people imho

Most us have a woe is me story....listening to the Eddie Van Halen interview GR posted they certainly had theirs...

The victim mentality really ticks me off...
