First, the recession changed poverty to some extent. More of the non-working poor claim they cannot find a job than at any point in the past two decades.

Wasn't the recession officially over 4 years ago? Aren't we now enjoying the fruits of Obama's fundamental transformation economy? Aren't things better now than they have ever been because we excel in fraternal socialist leadership?

You look at some of our poor people, and it seems that they are getting plenty to eat.

I don’t mean to get personal and mean spirited in a public policy debate. But, a number of our poor are actually headed to obesity. And you hear stories of how schools send home backpacks full of food to tide them over, for the weekend, and it appears that these programs could use some cuts. And nobody is going to starve if these cuts happen.
