The federal government spends approximately $8.3 billion per month on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as food stamps). This figure is derived from fiscal year (FY) 2024 data, where total federal SNAP spending reached $99.8 billion annually—representing about 1.5% of all federal outlays.

I get that 1.5% isn't huge budget line, but 100 billion a year is certainly a lot of money.
