FadeMeToWin, as you know the USA unemployment rate is better than at most times since 1948, the historical median being 5.6 percent. And job openings at the end of business in July was the highest since the BLS started tracking in December 2000. And hey, the number of openings is up over 100% since Obama took office. That's good, eh!
On food stamps a higher minimum wage would help, and we know Democrats and progressives have had some success there. Also, note your '3 costly wars' George W Bush
The number of people receiving food stamps dropped slightly since our last report, by fewer than 132,000. And as of June, the most recent month on record, more than 45.5 million Americans were still receiving the food aid, now known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
That’s 4.8 percent lower than the record level set in December 2012, but still 42 percent higher than it was when Obama took office in 2009.
Nevertheless, Obama no longer qualifies for the title of “Food Stamp President” that Republican Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the House, tried to hang on him during the 2012 presidential campaign. As we noted at the time, 14.7 million people were added to the food-stamp rolls during George W. Bush’s time in office. By comparison, the net gain under Obama now stands at 13.5 million — and it’s slowly declining as the economy improves. http://www.factcheck.org/2015/10/obamas-numbers-october-2015-update/
is the 'increase in food-stamps' king.
On healthcare costs doncha think the fact that some 15 million more insured since Obama took office is good for you guys?
During the three months ending with March of this year, 29 million people lacked coverage at the time they were interviewed, according to the most recent NHIS data (found in Table 1.1a on page 3). That’s down from 43.8 million during all of 2008, a drop of 14.8 million people since Obama first took office.
The recent drop is even more dramatic when considering that the number who lacked coverage jumped up to a peak of 48.6 million in 2010, as many who lost jobs during the recession and its aftermath also lost employer-sponsored coverage for themselves and their family members.
According to the NHIS (Table 1.1b), 14.7 percent of all people in the U.S. lacked health insurance at the time they were interviewed in 2008, and that number peaked at 16 percent in 2010. But it was down to 9.2 percent in the first quarter of 2015. .. http://www.factcheck.org/2015/10/obamas-numbers-october-2015-update/
14.7% uninsured down to 9.2% is a big plus. You gotta agree on that?
With your petrified Republicans policies favoring the uber rich a more generous position than yours would be to consider how the poor and the middle-class would fare under a Republican Budget.
Bernie has done some work to help you get your head into that.
