Half of my tax dollars (excluding SS/medicare taxes) go the military and subsidizing an entire defense industry, companies like Boeing, Lockheed etc. So some of my tax dollars going to a few people who aren’t eligible for SNAP benefits is the very least of my concerns.

41M is more than population of Poland, Canada, or Ukraine

41M is the _total_ number of people receiving SNAP. 180K is the guesstimated number of people getting it but _possibly_ ineligible for it.
