Quote:Especially when your "facts" are just your repeating of lies by leftist pundits.


Clinton reduced welfare payments (by setting a time limit on them), not unemployment benefits.


Social programs aren't being cut. Obama did away with Clinton's time limit. The number of people on food stamps is at its highest in history. Social Security disability payouts (essentially a Federal giveaway since it's not accounted for in what people pay into the system) is also at the highest levels in history. More people are included in Medicaid (i.e. taxpayer-paid healthcare for the poor, don't confuse it with Medicare) than at any time in the past, another government giveaway.

Thank you for the correction, it was tanf, not unemployment benefits that Clinton cut.


And who's being fed lies now? The tanf waivers are exemptions that don't gut the Clinton cuts, to the maximum time you can be on it. And states get to decide whether or not they want to extend an applicant!


And actually a simple Google search will show that unemployment benefits have also been cut, very recently...


Now, what you are talking about in regards to more people using food stamps and other social programs is based on the economy and the policies that began with Reagan, Bush, and Clinton which have continued on into the 2000's. To blame the results of supply side economics and free trade only on Obama is laughable and dishonest.
