Not to mention Reagan also had a downward effect on food stamp usage. As soon as Bush Sr. took over, the trend reversed. Reagan and Newt = real Republicans. The Bushes = not so much.
No democrat/marxist Clinton diabolically made it easier for people to qualify for welfare and it did this right at the end of his term , right before Bush got in, all to deceive and increase socialism.Clinton also allowed illegals to reach critical mass, free trade deals etc. : face it Clinton, Obama and democrats are international marxists bent on the destruction of America and making the U.S. into a colony of the UN , a colony similar to zimbawe or marxist south Africa.
Compare Bush's 2 conservative Supreme Court nominees to the 2 marxist monsters that Obama put on the Supreme court.
