If you notice in the graph, people got food stamps under BUSH, a Conservative. We just don't have the NUMBERS we do TODAY under Obama.

This stinking economy is OWNED by Obama and the busk stops at HIS desk.
Apparently "charity" or "trickle-down economics" is not feeding our children. If we give the wealthy top 1% another tax break, will that feed our children?

How about we give them FN JOBS

Seriously, what the hell did you guys think would be the result when the Obama stimulus bill involved $300 BILLION in food stamp stimulus spending and create programs that remove money from the economy? Now you guys all act surprised at the result.

Stupid Democrats because you can NOT remove money from the economy and GROW it at the same time..

Every "talking point" you put up is ridiculed and it never, never stops you from posting more ridiculous stuff.

You seem to forget there was a massive financial meltdown, and its effects are still being felt across the country. Instead, you choose to pretend that it never happened, and go on to berate people who are still struggling to get back even a small piece of the wealth they were robbed of four years ago.

I thank God that President Obama didn't turn his back on the people who were the victims of this robbery and will make sure that people don't starve in the aftermath. You would rather blame him for not cleaning up the mess your party left him fast enough, because that's all YOU have.

Stupid Democrats..
You want to make children work for their meals by working government jobs? That sounds pretty scary! Wasn't that tried before in history?

That is exactly what I thought when I heard about Romney taking his profits out of America and investing them offshore on the Cayman Islands, Switzerland, etc...........

I didnt realise I had the power to employ tens of millions of individuals.. Soon as you tell me how to do that, I'll be more than happy to assist.

According to the logic of some, apparently....
People don't need assistance? Maybe in the world of Paul Ryan's Ayn Rand. You cannot attack the POTUS when he is obstructed over and over and over again by a Congress that openly stated..."THEIR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY WAS TO MAKE HIM A ONE TERM PRESIDENT".

What do you think that meant? How do you think that affected the economy and the American people? These are not rhetorical questions. Will you answer them?

A story .... the $50 lesson...


Recently, while I was working in the flower beds in the front yard, my neighbors stopped to chat as they returned home from walking their dog. During our friendly conversation, I asked their little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, "If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?" She replied... "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people." Her parents beamed with pride! "Wow...what a worthy goal!" I said. "But you don't have to wait until you're President to do that!" I told her. "What do you mean?" she replied. So I told her, "You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and trim my hedge, and I'll pay you $50. Then you can go over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out and give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house." She thought that over for a few seconds...then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?" I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."
