The Coming Food-Stamp Crisis
The Trump administration's policies have reduced SNAP enrollment by 6 million participants since 2024, with further cuts through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act projected to slash $186 billion in funding by 2034. The changes, including stricter eligibility rules and reduced benefits, are exacerbating food affordability challenges amid rising inflation and could force states to cover $9 billion in costs.
