# of people on food stamps up 39% since Obama took office: http://www.fns.usda.gov/pd/34SNAPmonthly.htm and http://www.iwatchnews.org/2011/05/3...government-owned-limos-has-soared-under-obama Limousine liberals? Number of government-owned limos has soared under Obama Limousines, the very symbol of wealth and excess, are usually the domain of corporate executives and the rich. But the number of limos owned by Uncle Sam increased by 73 percent during the first two years of the Obama administration, according to an analysis of records by iWatch News.
On the other hand, sending congress off in those limos could save us all $trillions. http://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...ck-out/2011/05/31/AGyfIlFH_story.html?hpid=z3 Congress clocks in to clock out At 10 a.m. Tuesday morning, the Senate came to order. Forty-one seconds later, it adjourned. During this legislative session, there was no bill under consideration, no debate on the floor, not even an opening prayer or a pledge of allegiance. The only senator in the chamber was Mark Warner (D-Va.), the presiding officer. After completing his gavel duties, Warner looked up at the 20 tourists in the public gallery and wondered aloud to the clerk what the spectators must think of the proceedings. “They think, ‘this is our government?’ ” the clerk replied. That’s if they’re being charitable. The Senate is supposed to be in Memorial Day recess this week. But the chamber is so ungovernable that Majority Leader Harry Reid doesn’t even have the votes to declare a recess. (Give 'em hell, Harry!)
Denny, stop spreading racism. You know it's racist to connect Obama to food stamps; at least that's what David Gregory told me.
It's no coincidence that Bush's reverse Robin Hood act destroyed the economy and sent the country into a downward spiral and the result is more people needing basic assistance simply to survive in the richest country in the world. But I see no connection to Obama at all.
Yeah, I don't really see the connection either, considering this economic crisis happened a good 3 months before Obama took office. I'm curious if McCain would have had any effect on the number of people getting food stamp benefits. I mean, only if he didn't cut them.
The govt. is spending money on limos while the private sector is starved for financing to build or grow businesses. Hence less employees and more on welfare. That, or the benefits are so good that people don't have the incentive to take a job offered.
Happy Birthday, economic recovery! http://www.investors.com/NewsAndAnalysis/Article/573836/201105311856/Feeling-Better-.htm At some point, this Administration needs to stop blaming the previous one and start blaming their own policies.
