- The economy continues to gain jobs, but the number of long-term unemployed is nearly double what it was when Obama became president.
- Wages remain stagnant, increasing a scant 0.3 percent after inflation during Obama’s time. Meanwhile corporate profits are running 178 percent higher than just before he took office, and stock prices have doubled.
- The number of low-income persons on food stamps remains just below the record level reached in 2012, with 15 percent of the population still getting benefits.
Obama’s Numbers (January 2014 Update)
Poverty: Any lingering doubts about the deficiencies of Obamanomics can be dispelled with one piece of data:
The U.S. has spent $3.7 trillion on welfare in the past five years, with virtually nothing to show for it.
Means-tested aid programs now number about 80. Food stamps, with more than 47 million recipients, have gotten the lion's share of recent attention.
But that's just one of 15 food-aid programs.

How did you come to the conclusion that less people have been added?
The Census Department reported just this week that 49% of the population, or
151 million Americans, got federal aid from at least one program in 2011 — up from 94 million in 2000.
Clearly, you are wrong.
