Simple math lol...which means it’s too advanced for ya...

Is the use of food stamps -- formally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP -- really two-and-a-half times higher than it was when Obama took office?
The short answer is that it’s higher -- but not by nearly that much. And in recent years, it’s been falling.
As we’ve noted, SNAP is the federal government’s largest food program, eclipsing other big farm-bill food spending for school lunches and breakfasts and for Women, Infants and Children. It helps low-income people buy groceries, usually with benefit cards that work like debit cards.
Two factors undergird the rise in food stamp use during Obama’s presidency.
The first is that the number of food stamp beneficiaries ticked upward under President George W. Bush due to policies that broadened eligibility for the program and more aggressive efforts to get eligible Americans to apply for benefits. These policies remained in place under Obama.
The second is the 2007-09 recession, which drove the number of SNAP recipients to record highs. In an average month in 2011, one in seven U.S. residents got help.
Weird...
P.S. Medic, I quoted the wrong post...I meant to quote the one of you claiming food stamps “ballooned” during Obama’s presidency.

Huh? Wtf? That in no way addresses my point that a majority group would likely be in the majority when it comes to food stamps. I have no idea what point you're trying to make, and based on that reply, neither do you.
I quoted the wrong post. I meant to quote your post about Obama on the first page.
Do you think your made your Heavenly Father smile when you voted for a guy who...
- discriminated(s) against minority groups
- commit copious acts of adultery
- stole from the elderly
And whom evangelicals proudly idolize.
Seems a profound pile of hypocrisy to make this about God ***shrugs shoulders***
You're still waaaaay out there without a point. I simply pointed out the increase in food stamp usage per the graph in the article that CUp linked. I posted nothing, zero, nada about "two and a half times."
Maybe try again?
Didn't realize you aligned yourself with Christian values enough to speak on the subject. Quite a reversal from the condemnation and ridicule I've seen you post.
I was raised in a Southern Baptist household, so I understand full well the ideals of a moral compass.
I see many “Christians” who metaphorically piss and shit all over the ideals they claim to espouse.
It should truly disgust an honest, decent human being who represents a strong moral compass that a strong majority of evangelicals support Trump, but it doesn’t...many simply downplay and dismiss his misdeeds and vitriol as an afterthought.
This isn’t to say Hillary was or is that, either
You sound judgy.
And your hot take is not well thought out.
I'm guessing it's misplaced Projection.
But God does love you and wants to know you daily, even though you reject Him.
Maybe, just maybe, evangelicals didn't elect Trump to be their spiritual leader or preacher. Maybe, just maybe, they support Trump because he was the only one campaigning to look out for them.
Says the guy who can’t help but project hate, calls others the “crazies” and posts as if he’s on a pedestal looking down.
“Hot take”
I don't hate, Clinton. I love you. And I'm not opposed to sharpening iron with iron.
Is your heart hardened? Are you unable to accept edifying feedback, regardless of form?
