People will be able to receive their SNAP benefits soon, now that the government has reopened.
But Agriculture Department Secretary Brooke Rollins promised significant changes after all the bombshells she’s dropped this past month.
Rollins said on Newsmax:
On day one, when I was sworn in, which was earlier this year, in February, the very first thing I did was send letters to every single state in America and said, “Never before has the federal government asked for the data. But it is a new day. President Trump is the president. We know there’s a lot of fraud. We need to help partner with you all to figure out how to make sure that this money and these benefits go to those who truly need it, and not rife with fraud and corruption.”29 states, mostly the red states, responded with their data sets, February, March, April. So the numbers that you’re talking through, those are numbers that we have been collecting and analyzing since early summer, late spring, the fact that this spotlight shined on SNAP has allowed us to talk about it.But here’s the most unbelievable news I have really just over the last few days, that 5,000 dead people, that was just one month, the number is closer to 186,000 deceased men and women and children in this country are receiving a check.Now that is what we’re really going to start clamping down on. Half a million are getting two but here’s the really stunning thing. This is just data from those 29 mostly red states.Can you imagine when we get our hands on the blue state data, what we’re going to find?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.
Earlier this month, Rollin revealed that the Biden administration had increased SNAP by almost 40%. The USDA’s investigation found that one guy was receiving benefits in six states.
So far, authorities have arrested 118 people for fraud.
I hope the USDA publishes all of the results from the investigation.
More importantly, though, I hope USDA actually takes action and slashes the waste.
