美國食物券計劃(SNAP)又稱為營養(yǎng)補充援助計劃,是政府對窮人的一種福利補貼。 2000年美國約有1700萬人參加食物券計劃;而到2016年參與該計劃的人數(shù)激增至4400萬人。增加速度超過了美國的人口增長速度。
部分原文報道如下:
The cost of Food Stamps, or SNAP (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), has ballooned the past two decades.
It went from having a price tag of $17 billion in 2000 to costing $71 billion last year.
That's why President Trump said he wants to clamp down on government-subsidy programs.
In 2000, there were 17 million people participating in SNAP. Last year, 44 million were participating. The increases greatly outnumber the rise in population.
