Have you ever gotten care at the Shriner's hospital? Catholic Charities doesn't operate a hospital nor will they pay the cancer costs and costs of living for millions. Yes, there are a few charity hospitals almost exclusively for children, but that simply doesn't take care of the need in the whole country. And the idea that people will cough up enough to give charity care to everyone if they save a few bucks on taxes is ludicrous. It's never happened in the past, and never will.
And even at the same time, Obama's presidency is plunging record-high numbers of families and children into poverty and on food stamps.
How are we supposed to have confidence in the Obama Admin's ability to care for the needy when all they do is spend record-high deficits all the while creating record-high numbers of those living in poverty and needing public assistance and food stamps?

Funny, I don't remember charity picking up much of any tab for sick people before the recession.
As you very well know, the recession started under Bush's watch, and there has been a steady but slow improvement - just as economists have been predicting. Improvement under Obama seems to infuriate conservatives for some reason, you'd think they'd be happy about it.
Food stamps are a lagging indicator, if you people hadn't screwed up things with the sequestration we would see use of them go down. But y'all would rather see the country crash and burn under Obama than do what is right.

Obama was elected by the citizens of this country. Get over it. If you have confidance in him, trust him or not, it doesn't matter. In 2016 help elect a president and congress you are happier with. In the time being, all you do is bringing America down and preventing any chance of recovery. As a matter of fact all the endless complains may push America into a civil war.
Such scenario is worse even then the deficit.

It does matter if the dumbasses who voted for him drag the rest of us down by their stupidity.
How anyone can vote for a Democrat after the disaster Clinton and his Dem Congress dragged us into by rewriting the CRA in the early 1990s and having HUD sign agreements with mortgage originators to accept liberalized alternative documentation (read: no doc, liar) for loan approval is beyond me.
To further clarify, the GSEs had to be bailed out AS WELL to the tune of $400 billion because they had agreed to buy the now-defaulting low-income high risk nontraditionally documented loans (read: no doc liar loans) from Countrywide and other lenders via a deal brokered by the Clinton admin's HUD.
