Obama put more people on welfare than any president in recent history, while Republicans have always focused on (and successfully) putting people back to work. Obama ended some of those important programs that successfully cut welfare roles and got people working. (Welfare-to-work).

Working is a good thing!
This is also not true. Again watch as the GOP policies had destroyed the economy leading into 2007- 2008.


The changes that took place after 2009-2010 are the factors which were truly pro-growth.

Obama's Trickle Down Economics with money to big banks simply didn't work for the bottoms half of Americans.
This is also a false statement.

I guess we have seen the Trump proposal for a balanced budget, cut tax receipts, increase defense spending and cut food stamps.

The biggest bail out was Q.E. which all happened under Obama.

P.S. Obama also supported Bush's actions. He raced back to D.C. to help save them.

I said it before --the sick old and poor will be systematically cut out- they won't shoot ya in the back- (yet) but slowly will die off- but this is what America wants- to be great again- only those with $$$ will make it-
if you make people more desperate - there will be more crime-- so start building your wall now-
