Why are republicans so stupid when it comes to Food Stamps?

[JonKoch]

Sure wish Ronnie/Dubya didn't try just half of Keynes, you know when they both blew up spending AS they gutted revenues

You are so IGNORANT!!!
EXPLAIN Where the $5.2 Trillion Surplus WAS????
EXPLAIN how YOU or your idiots would have responded to the $8T dot.com bust that started under Clinton? Or the Recession that started? Or 9/11 due to the
Gorelick Memo from Clinton trying to hide Chinese payoff, or Try to explain how YOU would have handled the worst Hurricane SEASONs in history?
And yet.. after the 2003 tax cuts LOOK at the receipts- deficits down!
2004 INCREASE in receipts - deficits down!
2005, increase receipts - deficits down!
,2006 increase receipts - deficits down
,2007 increase receipts - NOTE DEFICIT DOWN..

NOTHING in American history equaled the chaos, the economic losses, the people losses that occurred in these 8 years... and idiots like you blame Bush??

...Notice that in both 2001 and 2002, the US economy continued to grow on an annual basis (the "technical" recession was just a few quarters). Their work suggests that this growth was entirely due to MEWs. In fact, MEWs contributed over 3% to GDP growth in 2004 and 2005, and 2% in 2006. Without US homeowners using their homes as an ATM, the economy would have been very sluggish indeed, averaging much less than 1% for the six years of the Bush presidency.

Republicans Make Big Advances Thanks to Citizens United


The increase in corporate money in elections has favored one party over the other.

Republicans Make Big Advances Thanks to Citizens United


The researchers found the ruling, in Citizens United v. FEC, was associated with a six percentage-point increase in the likelihood that a Republican candidate would win a state legislative race.

And in six of the most affected states — Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, North Carolina, Ohio and Tennessee — the probability that a Republican would be elected to a state legislative seat increased by 10 percentage points or more.

In five other states — Colorado, Iowa, Texas, Wisconsin and Wyoming — Republican candidates were seven percentage points more likely to win.

WAPO

Study: Citizens United elected more Republicans


GOP Memo: Gerrymandering Won Us The House Majority


“The rationale was straightforward,” reads the memo. “Controlling the redistricting process in these states would have the greatest impact on determining how both state legislative and congressional district boundaries would be drawn. Drawing new district lines in states with the most redistricting activity presented the opportunity to solidify conservative policymaking at the state level and maintain a Republican stronghold in the U.S. House of Representatives for the next decade.”

It did.

The War on Poverty: 50 years of failure

Do these living conditions mean the War on Poverty was a success? Not really. When President Johnson launched the War on Poverty, he wanted to give the poor a "hand up, not a hand out." He stated that his war would shrink welfare rolls and turn the poor from "taxeaters" into "taxpayers." Johnson's aim was to make poor families self-sufficient - able to rise above poverty through their own earnings without dependence on welfare.

The exact opposite happened. For a decade and a half before the War on Poverty began, self-sufficiency in American improved dramatically. But for the last 45 years, there has been no improvement at all. Many groups are less capable of self-support today than when Johnson's war started.

The culprit is, in part, the welfare system itself, which discourages work and penalizes marriage. When the War on Poverty began, 7 percent of American children were born outside marriage. Today the number is 41 percent. The collapse of marriage is the main cause of child poverty today.

Black female head of households number is 68 percent
The truth is that black female-headed households were just 18 percent of households in 1950, as opposed to about 68 percent today.
In fact, from 1890 to 1940, the black marriage rate was slightly higher than that of whites.
Even during slavery, when marriage was forbidden for blacks, most black children lived in biological two-parent families.

Republicans Make Big Advances Thanks to Citizens United


The researchers found the ruling, in Citizens United v. FEC, was associated with a six percentage-point increase in the likelihood that a Republican candidate would win a state legislative race.

And in six of the most affected states — Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, North Carolina, Ohio and Tennessee — the probability that a Republican would be elected to a state legislative seat increased by 10 percentage points or more.

In five other states — Colorado, Iowa, Texas, Wisconsin and Wyoming — Republican candidates were seven percentage points more likely to win.

Study: Citizens United elected more Republicans


GOP Memo: Gerrymandering Won Us The House Majority


“The rationale was straightforward,” reads the memo. “Controlling the redistricting process in these states would have the greatest impact on determining how both state legislative and congressional district boundaries would be drawn. Drawing new district lines in states with the most redistricting activity presented the opportunity to solidify conservative policymaking at the state level and maintain a Republican stronghold in the U.S. House of Representatives for the next decade.”

Democrats won popular vote in the Senate, too

Senate Democrats won over 23 million more votes than Republicans
We're the popular party: Senate Democrats won over 23 million more votes than Republicans


It's official: Clinton swamps Trump in popular vote

I hope this makes you feel better.

But somehow, I don't think the recordbooks are going to rewrite themselves.

Clinton and Obama both got spanked and spanked bad in their first mid-terms.

As to being the popular party....this isn't about being popular...it's about winning.

Suck on it, fruitcake.

If by being spanked bad means the US voters are easily duped after the Dems bring fiscal sanity into the picture, true

Sure...fruitcake....does not fit your narrative....blame it on the voters.

But those are the same stupid voters that put these two in office.

Must suck to live in an alternate reality.

Sorry Cupcake you don't understand what midterms are vs Prez elections

I know that following the election of both these guys....the GOP bullrushed the midterms. Then debt went down.

Sorry, fruitcake...thems the facts.

And why Obama dug it twice as deep.

SURE CUPCAKE

Funny....your chart has nothing about the debt.

Here you go.....

And that was just for half his term.

YEP, 8 YEARS OF DUBYA/GOP "JOB CREATOR" POLICIES CUPCAKE

And Pelosi, Reid, and Obama just kept on spending.

Thanks for sharing.

Care to give those laws they passed that created the debt like Dubya/GOP "job creator" policies 2001-2009 did cupcake? You know TWO UNFUNDED tax cuts, TWO UNFUNDED WARS, UNFUNDED MEDICARE expansion that CBO said cost as much as Obamacares does 2013-2020, but Obamnacares was 100+ funded!

Unfortunately cupcake, policy and consequences (like Dubya cheering on the Banksters subprime bubble) don't end the day the next guy enters office

Tough shit fruitcake.

You want to hand him all the credit for what goes on while he's in office.

He gets ALL the credit.

Suck on it.
