His Goal
Did you know that one out of ever seven Americans is receiveing food stamps? This is a 70% increase in the Supplimental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) since 2007 when Bush was in office. Keep in mind that under the Bush 8 year administration, he added just short of 11 million recipients. Obama has broken that record in just three years! The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that the costs for food stamps will reach $82 BILLION by 2013! Now that's a record to be proud of isn't it?
Eligibility
In order to qualify for SNAP you have to have a personal income at or near the poverty level. This is closely tied to Obama's failed economic policies which are causing continued HIGH unemployment. Since there are NO jobs, more and more people qualify for SNAP. Obama truly is the FOOD STAMP PRESIDENT.
Government Waste
Not suprisingly, with the huge increases in participants, there is a huge increase in fraud cases, corruption, and abuse by dishonest people who'd rather get free stuff rather than work for it. The biggest abuse and fraud involves dishonest retailers who encourage food stamp recipients to use their benefits transfer card to purchase alcohol and cigarettes illegally for a "cut" in return. So both parties are criminals!
The second type of fraud occurs when recipients literally sell their benefits on Craig's List. In turn, they use the money from the black market to purchase weapons, prostitutes, and illegal drugs.
The third common type of fraud occurs from the thousands of people who are NOT elligible for food stamps who lie and use social security numbers of dead people to illegally obtain benefits.
All totalled, the US wastes BILLIONS in fraud anually!
Meanwhile BIG Government does little if anything to prevent these activities which makes things even worse. THEY DON'T WANT TO! That's the whole point of this exercise. The Obama administration wants to create a whole new class of dependents who rely on the government for their existance. Hence, Obama has earned (and rightly so) the name of the "Welfare or FOOD STAMP President." His administration considers food stamps as a form of "Stimulus." What kind of wacko thinking is that?
Conclusion
No matter how you look at it, this is BAD for America. We cannot afford to put more people on the dole. We need to put more people back to work. We need a NEW PResident because this one has made a real mess of it.
