Another Example of Government Wasting Our Tax Dollars
The government always manages to find ways to waste your hard-earned tax dollars.
For example, an audit conducted
by the Office of Inspector General found that the U.S. Department of
Agriculture improperly spent $2.4 billion on food stamps.
Billions of dollars are going to people who are ineligible to receive food stamps for whatever reason.
More than 47 million Americans collect food stamps each month, representing one out of every four Americans.
That is an increase of over 14 million people since Barack Obama took office in 2009 when about 33 million Americans collected food stamps.
Food stamps are growing so
rapidly that the Department of Agriculture is looking to hire hundreds
of full-time workers to keep up with demand.
And the improper payments don't
stop with food stamps. Billions of dollars are collectively being
misspent on other welfare programs such as WIC and school lunch
programs.
What a waste.
