“Number of Americans on food stamps” doesn’t mean much. It tapers off pretty quickly, and you get something like $5.31 a month. Many people who qualify don’t bother. Food stamps was historically a subsidy for farmers as much as a welfare program. I read something about that changing, but don’t know the details. But I qualified for food stamps long after I was making good money.
