BO promised transformation, the problem was few people stopped to consider, would the change be positive? After 6 years of his nonsense the stats clearly show that he has failed at every positive change he promised, and not for lack of trying. The bottom line is just this, his ideas and plans are wrong.

It sounds politicized, esp the one about food stamps increasing during Obama's presidency instead of following the recession of '09.

But my anecdotal observations are that gov't dependence really has increased. I have known people living in $300k houses, in the Midwest where the ave prices is closer to $200k, who completely expect to receive gov't assistance with their mortgage, kids college, medical bills. It never occurs to them that *they* are the ones who fund the gov't. There's always someone richer who you can imagine paying your bills, but there simply aren't enough rich people to pay for everyone's needs.
