美国食物券计划（SNAP）又称为营养补充援助计划，是政府对穷人的一种福利补贴。 2000年美国约有1700万人参加食物券计划；而到2016年参与该计划的人数激增至4400万人。增加速度超过了美国的人口增长速度。

 

    部分原文报道如下：

 

    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.
