Interesting article, the facts and data certainly support Gingrich’s basic claim. What isn’t clear is WHY participation in the SNAP program has expanded. Is it a function of the standards for eligibility being lowered or have there been greater efforts on the part of the administration to encourage participation? Or have that many more people simply become eligible due to the poor economy? What also is not clear is the alternative to SNAP; is the recommendation to tightening eligibility or reduce benefits?
