well, the economy tanked in Nov of 2007 (near the end of Bush's second term). wasn't food stamp participation up before that? i'm not sure, i'm asking.
I dont know and to be frank it means nothing. We have record numbers on food stamps and that is all that matters.
We have a president who is trying to convince the people that the economy is getting better.....when, in fact, we are down nearly 2 million jobs since he took office...but he refuses to look at that. He just wants us to know of the several million hired since he took office...not the twice as many that were laid off.
So things will not get any better for those on food stamps until our politicians stop playing on the naevity of the people.
Which sadly will likely not happen in our lifestime.
the sad truth is that until we voters elect politicians who address our massive debt, our country will be in trouble. and since there hasn't been a day in my lifetime (and i'm pretty old) when the debt has decreased......
You're (quite) obviously not all-that-old.....
"....the president explained, the $5.7 trillion national debt has been reduced by $360 billion in the last three years -- $223 billion this year alone."
