“So, when they tell us everything is improving that’s more whoppers!”

Total federal spending on SNAP has increased each year during President Obama’s first term in office. In FY 2009 — when SNAP was still known as the “Food Stamp” program — the government spent approximately $55.6 billion.

By FY 2010, SNAP spending increased to nearly $70.5 billion. Between FY 2009 and FY 2012, SNAP’s budget jumped by approximately $24.8 billion.

According to an April 2012 report from the Congressional Budget Office, SNAP outlays increased by $42 billion between 2007 and 2011, and the number of SNAP participants increased by 70 percent.
