With approximately 12% of the American population on food stamps, misuse of the welfare system is rampant in the United States.
For instance, take the case of Kaneshia Francis, a former correctional officer who was sent to jail for forging documents so that she could take advantage of the Louisiana food stamp program!
According to WBRZ,
Detectives later arrested Francis for allegedly forging documents and providing false information in an attempt to fraudulently get food stamp benefits.
Francis was booked into the St. Martin Parish Correctional Center. She was also fired.
Cases like these are why President Trump is now seeking to combat food stamp fraud.
Especially since a huge number of Americans believe the economy is stronger and better underneath his administration, it’s highly questionable why such a huge chunk of our nation’s population are using their state’s food stamp programs.
To get at the bottom and rectify things, President Trump just announced a plan to further restrict those eligible for receiving food stamps – a plan which would cut $3.1 million from using them!
Take a look at news of the president’s plan that hit Twitter:
