Who is drawing food stamps by a particular party isn't the problem, the real problem is the need to draw food stamps and why has it gone haywired.
The trickle down theory and all the other fad methods to stir the economy were BS by congress and the corporations.
Cost continue to rise and the elite (heads of the corporations) can afford them but when jobs were eliminated it was for the good of the corporation, but now when the new jobs are offered it is only for part time and starting at minimum wage. Not of quality to get one out of the need for food stamps.
You try to divide by saying it's one or the other side (Dem or Rep) that is at fault, when in reality it's both their faults.
As long as you try to divide or defend a particular side the problem will continue. United we stand, divided we fall, why are you trying to lead divided we fall? The OP's general statement throughout was that congerss has done some terrible things. You are nit picking to divide.

Part of this problem of hiring part time jobs is Obamacare, sorry to bring that up. Obamacare is so unknown that most small businesses aren't going to take a chance on hiring new full time employees and not know if they will be able to afford keeping them. Also, I am curious about the "shovel-ready" jobs that Obama said were waiting for everyone.
The biggest problem is Obama has no idea what he is talking about but keeps on making promises anyway. Obama is the worst at playing politics. Tell the American people what is reality and let the decisions be based upon that, not making up what the people want to hear.

"The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool.
It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president." - from Prager Zeitungon, a newspaper in the Czech Republic, about America.

The politicians have found, and nurtured, their gravy-train. It's not likely they will give it up without a fight. I'm NOT talking about Democrats or Republicans, but BOTH. It's kind of sad the Democratic voters feel they are the "chosen people" right now because it's a Democrat Administration. In truth, they are no more highly regarded by the gross political crowd than Republican voters. It's like thinking if you are friendly to the Mexican drug cartels they won't cut your throat and put your head on a fencepost. Dream on...

We, the taxpayers (about 50% or so of the population) are nothing more than $$ in the eyes of the politicians who routinely lie to us and misrepresent us. My firsthand experience comes from Harry Reid, D-NV, and Dean Heller, R-NV. Heller is only marginally better than Reid in terms of honesty and representation.

In California, they have Diane Feinstein, D-CA, who said "Sure, 90%+ of my constituency is opposed to striking Syria, but they don't know what I know." Why does she not tell them what she knows? (She said basically the same thing about the Assault Rifle Ban in 1994.) She thinks she represents some extremely stupid people. And make no mistake: She's not just talking about her Republican constituency! The Republican voters are no smarter than the Democrat voters, though they may not be quite as misled by their politicians.
