Why would we call for the end of food stamps? again this programs been around for decades, and is serving its purpose-which is to keep the poor from being hungry.

Obamacare subsidies? REALLY? Thats a new program designed to provide a minimum level of healthcare.

I could go on, obamaphones for example should be called Bush phones.

At a time when our countries GDP is ever higher the question you should be asking is this "why is it we make twice as much as a nation, and yet have more and more poor?"

The answer is not to blame the poor. Again, Look at our GDP numbers!

Read a book, I recommend "capital in the twenty first century". Its worth it.



FDR started what eventually became Obamaphones with the Communications Act of 1934.

Lifeline Program for Low-Income Consumers | FCC.gov

Universal Service | FCC.gov

Bush didn't start anything and for him to end the Lifeline program, he would have to convince Congress to repeal the 1934 Communications Act.

These free phones are called Obamaphones because the program grew dramatically during Obama's first term.

People on food stamps are able to buy more food and better quality food than the working poor not on food stamps.

These same food stamp recipients often develop diabetes because they are morbidly obese.

Democrats, as a matter of principle, generously reward those who make themselves dependent on liberals social welfare programs.

Obamacare is yet another example of a Democrat program designed to punish those who refuse to go to government with hat in hand.

Please, they weren't called obamaphones because people wanted to demonstrate the expansion of the program during a massive recession, they were called that to try and make some claim that he started the program.

Really? People on food stamps can buy such high quality food that they are obese....thats your argument? Bwahahhaa. you're a tad out of touch with reality there.

And no democrats as a matter of principle blah blah. thats nonsense.

And Obamacare is a example of a program designed to get people insured, and at least make a attempt at slowing down what were double digit increases in healthcare pricing people out year after year, and an attempt to get the poorest among us some real health care. Its a program that would have saved my moms life if it had been implemented 6 years ago.

How can you people believe such nonsense? Seriously.

6% unemployment is fantastic if Democrat can take credit for it.

4.4% is a catastrophe if the president is a Republican.

Just ask Nancy...
