Not true. Many working people qualify for food stamps.I'm not arguing,,, Food stamps went up under Obama but why throw around 45 million ? How many were there with GWB?A failure ONLY if you bailed on the market while he was president ,if you had no IRA no 401K if you lost your job I feel for you ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,not really you got what you deserveThe number of people receiving food stamps dropped again since our last report, by nearly 142,000. As of October, the most recent month on record, nearly 45.4 million Americans were still receiving the food aid, now known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
That’s 5.1 percent lower than the record level set in December 2012, but still nearly 42 percent higher than it was when Obama took office in 2009.
But as we noted when Republicans called Obama the “Food Stamp President,” 14.7 million people were added to the food-stamp rolls during George W. Bush’s time in office. By comparison, the net gain under Obama now stands at just under 13.4 million — and it’s slowly declining as the economy improves.
Still are record number on food stamps despite claims the economy was better. Face it, boy, Obama was a failure.
We're talking about food stamps. Pay attention. I seriously doubt those using food stamps were effected at all by the market.
and the rest of what I posted had to do with you calling a great man a failure You are so far off base you're not even in the same ball park
I use the 45 million because it was the actual number. With Bush, one would expect those on food stamps to increase. That goes along with losing your job. However, with Obama, you want people to believe that getting a job when you didn't have one can increase the number on food stamps.
He was far from a great man and definitely a failure.
