I have read, over and over again, that the Supplemental Nourishment Assistance Program (SNAP), with its 42 million users (NOT a typo) is loaded to the gills with fraud.
Is it true? We’ll soon find out.
Why? Because, as reported in Ashleigh Fields’ article for thehill.com…
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins on Thursday said the Trump administration is planning to have all Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) beneficiaries reapply for the program due to alleged fraud.
The secretary said after receiving data on SNAP recipients from 29 red states that “186,000 deceased men and women and children in this country are receiving a check.”
“Can you imagine when we get our hands on the blue state data what we’re going to find?” she asked during a Thursday appearance on Newsmax’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight.”
“It’s going to give us a platform and a trajectory to fundamentally rebuild this program, have everyone reapply for their benefit, make sure that everyone that’s taking a taxpayer-funded benefit through SNAP or food stamps, that they literally are vulnerable, and they can’t survive without it,” she added.
Hallelujah!!! A serious attempt to end massive waste and fraud.
I wonder how many millions – that might be tens of millions – of current SNAP recipients are going bye-bye once this is done.
And I wonder if Democrats are going to fight this attempt to eliminate the cheating on SNAP, as they have fought other attempts to clean government up. I’ll wait and see if that actually happens, but I’m betting it will.
Stay tuned.
