Exposed: Obama's Food Stamp Madness
Grassfire Update

The Obama administration has spent millions in taxpayer dollars to aggressively promote the government’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) -- including large cash payouts to local governments that sign up the most people. In fact, one state received a $5 million bonus for “the swift processing of applications.”

         Since taking office in January 2009, Obama has
         been adding 11,269 food-stamp recipients per day
         an astounding 49.3 percent increase, prompting
         Newt Gingrich to label him the “Food Stamp
         President.”

         Today, more than 47 million Americans are
         receiving food stamps -- a number larger than the
         entire population of Spain.

         A federal audit of SNAP revealed that many of the
         47 million already receiving food stamps don’t
         actually qualify but receive them anyway under
         a special program that disregards income and
         asset requirements.

That means American taxpayers are paying what’s been called a “multi-million-dollar tab to feed hundreds of thousands who can well afford to feed themselves.”

The SNAP program was designed to be a temporary safety net for individuals and families in need. Yet under Obama, it has become a bloated, fraud-filled entitlement program funded by American taxpayers.

But that’s not even the worst of it.
 

Obama is even reaching across our borders, encouraging foreign nationals, migrant workers
and non-citizen immigrants to apply for SNAP benefits -- all on your dime!

With our economy in shambles, and our national debt approaching $17 trillion, taxpayers can ill-afford to fund another Obama handout that last year topped out at $80.4 billion.
