    Record highs because of...wait for it.....wait for it....the financial collapse in the 2nd half of the last decade and all the fallout it caused.

    What you just did is like pointing out that gas prices were super low when Obama took office and then complaining when they normalized as things picked back up.

    It's a skewed statistic that is tossed out there totally without the historical context that explains it.

    Back patting aside, lets be happy for those who enjoy the dignity of being able to support themselves. Some want to give credit to obama while others credit trump. The truth is that neither side deserves credit for helping. Its only a matter of who hindered the least!

    And if Trump gets his way, welfare work requirements will be increased and even more people will be nudged off the welfare rolls.

    I think the collapse was prolonged by democrat policies.

    Lets face it, food stamp usage is down to numbers not seen since before Obama.

    Not a bad idea. And probably better than anything you can get at a store.

    It's a matter of historical record. I've provided the congressional voting record numerous times on this issue.

    No, it's the republicans fault for killing every single attempt to try and regulate fanny/freddy, which directly led to the crash.

    The walls work. They cut illegal crossings in San Diego by 99%. Why does your brain not accept this fact? What’s preventing you from seeing reality?

    Liberalism is a disease.

    Not sure, but perhaps his failures as an Obama adviser contributed to this.

    So why aren't any Trumpers killing themselves if failure is the measuring stick.

    Because he's not failing.

    Trump supporters aren't the angry ones here.
