There are currently 47 million Americans who turn to food stamps to help make ends meet. The program was just cut by $5 billion on November 1 and more cuts are expected.
November 1st marked the end of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that was passed in 2009 to temporarily expand the SNAP or food stamp program in the US following the economic recession.
