$78 billion spent on food stamps. 2% of the budget.
47 million on food stamps:
White Population vs Food Stamp Usage: 47 million * (35.7%) = 16,779,000 / 223,553,265 (White population of the United States) = 7.5% on food stamps.
Black Population vs Food Stamp Usage: 47 million * (22.0%) = 10,340,000 / 38,929,319 (Black population of the United States) = 26.7% on food stamps.
Hispanic Population vs Food Stamp Usage: 47 million * (10.0%) = 4,700,000 / 50,477,594 (Hispanic population of the United States) = 9.3% on food stamps.
