If this were even remotely true - Trump would not have won. What you are told by govt. and what is reality are polar opposites. Jobs that blow in reverse - is what Obama will be known for.
And yet somehow there are 20,000,000 MORE people receiving food stamps as there were when he was elected. Those are clearly high paying jobs Obama 'created'.
As you may recall, when Obama took office, the economy was collapsing and heading into a deep recession. As more people lost their jobs and ran through their savings, more and more signed up for Food Stamps. Is this news to anyone?
As folks on this forum are so fond of pointing out, many folks are still struggling. Hence the Food Stamps.
Good news though:
A report by the Food Research & Action Center, a hunger and nutrition advocacy group, applauded the 43 million figure in April as the lowest level of participants since October 2010. From April 2015 to April 2016, participation is down 1.9 million participants.

Trump won because he lied and people believed him.
Don't forget he came into office in a very bad recession and he's been in office for 8 years. Jobs had no where else to go but up. When you start at the bottom, it's hard not to have nice job numbers.
"NEW� YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The Great Recession ended in June 2009, according to the body charged with dating when economic downturns begin and end."
Article stating that if there’s one economic accomplishment you can’t take away from Obama, who took office during the darkest days of the financial crisis, it is that a ton of jobs were added to the US economy during his time in office.
The number to beat: 15.8 million in 7 years. Since the beginning of 2010, 15.8 million private sector jobs have been added to the economy. (The December 2016 jobs report also pushed the wage growth rate to the highest level since 2009.)
Need 16 million new private sector jobs by 2023. That's 2.29 Million jobs per year.
Ready, set, go. (Don't forget to also push the wage growth rate to the highest level since 2016.)
Here is the real legacy of Obama.
Media wages are down
Median income is down
Median net worth is down
Homeownership is at record lows
Private debt is up
Public debt has doubled under Obama
There are a record number of people receiving food stamps
There are a record number of people on welfare
By every measure the average American is worse off under Obama that they were before the recession.
There has been no recovery for the working Americans.
Does that mean that most people with Obama's new jobs were working 2-3 jobs... so the 15 million jobs is more like 5 million jobs? That's the number to beat liberals... 625k jobs (5 million jobs/8 years) per year is the real number to beat...
The clock starts ticking on January 20th. Trump ran on a 'MORE JOBS" platform.
Can he fulfill the promise of more than 2 1/2 Million jobs a year? We're about to see.
Tick tock.
