For Every Job
Created by Obama, 2 Americans Enroll in Food Stamps, How do you Spin That
Townhall.com reported that we all missed it:
President Obama has gotten us out of the recession! Oh wait, but that’s not
true at all.
In
his press conference on Monday, Jay Carney said the Obama administration has
pulled the nation out of the “Great Recession” with the creation of 7.2 million
private sector jobs.
But there are a few things that Mr. Carney forgot to
mention along with this statistic.
Since
February of 2009, the first full month of Obama’s presidency, 9.5 million
Americans have dropped out of the labor force. Nearly 90 million Americans are
not working today!
That
means that 1.3 Americans have dropped out of the labor force for every one job
the administration claims to have created.
There
are 15 million more Americans on food stamps today than when Obama assumed
office.
At
the end of January 2009, 32,204,859 Americans received aid from the
Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance
Program. As of April 2013, there were 47,548,694 Americans on food stamps.
That
means that more than two Americans have been added to the food stamp rolls for
every one job the administration says it has created.
Under
Obama, 1.6 million more Americans are collecting disability insurance. In
February 2009, 9,334,369 Americans received disability payments. Today, that
number is 10,953,733.
What
the president and his administration seem to forget is that just because there
are new jobs in the market, does not mean that the problems have been solved!
When more and more Americans are relying on government assistance, there is
clearly still an issue. Until President Obama realizes that this country was
created with liberty in mind, he will continue to flaunt these numbers around
like they are proof of success.
