What claim would that be lol? In 2010, UE and Welfare for victims of Booosh were 600 billion, now it's down to 300 billion. That's 2 trillion+ right there. You're absolutely clueless.Almost all of Obama's debt is the Booosh depression bailout and helping victims- STILL $300 billion /year - most of the deficit. DUH.You're a Reaganist, hater dupe, and your heroes are defending Reagan tax rates and policies to the death. Ay caramba.
18 TRILLION Dollars in debt...Thanks obama.
Wow, that card must be worn out after playing it for 7 years.
As I noted elsewhere no matter how may times liberal claims are blown to smithereens, they don't have a problem continuing to use them over and over again.
I call Bull Shit, why don't you provide us some facts and figures, wait I just happen to have brought some to help you out .................
Income, Poverty and Food Stamps
Also since our last report, the Census has released annual figures on income and poverty covering 2013. They provide a bleak picture of the economic well-being of most Americans during the first five years of Obama’s tenure.
Median household income rose just slightly to $51,939 in 2013, Census reported. In “real” income, adjusted for inflation, that was 0.3 percent higher than in 2012, but still 4.6 percent below 2008, the year before Obama first took office, when the first effects of the worst recession since the Great Depression were just starting to be felt. And it is 8.7 percent below the peak year of 1999.
The same Census report showed that although nearly 1.2 million fewer people were living in poverty in 2013 than the year before, the number still remains nearly 5.5 million higher than in 2008. The official poverty rate — meaning the percentage of the population living below the poverty line — dropped 0.5 percent in 2013, but it still remained 1.3 percent higher than in 2008.
Meanwhile, the number of people receiving benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as “food stamps,” bounced back up by nearly 400,000 since the period covered in our previous update. As of June, the most recent period for which the government has released monthly figures, the total stood at 46.5 million people. That’s 2.7 percent below the peak reached in December 2012, but it’s still 14.5 million, or more than 45 percent, higher than the month before the president was first sworn in.
Jobs & Unemployment
As of September, the U.S. had 5,459,000 more people employed than it did when Obama took office in 2009. And the official unemployment rate had dipped to 5.9 percent, which was 1.9 percentage points below where it was when he first took office.
But scars from the great recession of 2007-2009 remain. There were still nearly 3 million people suffering from long-term unemployment — out of work for 27 weeks or longer — a figure that was 255,000 higher than it was when Obama entered office. And the average number of weeks that the unemployed have been without work was 31.5 weeks — which was 11.7 weeks longer than the average duration of joblessness for the month Obama entered the White House.
