ETA:

For accuracy, the chart is old (2014) and references discretionary spending instead of mandatory which is where programs like SNAP (Food Stamps) generally fall

However, even accounting for all that properly, at the time of the meme, food stamps would have still been just 2% of the federal budget. Thus the spirit of the meme is still good.

    It’s old, and only represents discretionary spending vs mandatory (which is where food stamps/SS/Medi* would be) but according to them for food stamps specifically it would still only be about 2% of the federal budget
