More People Have Gotten Food Stamps Than Jobs Under Obama


White House spokesman Jay Carney said Tuesday the Obama administration has created 7.2 million jobs over the years, but other reports are pointing out that twice that many people have started getting food stamps since President Barack Obama took office.


More than 32 million Americans were receiving assistance from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance program in January 2009, reports The Washington Times. However, by this April, the number has grown to almost 48 million people, or 16 million Americans — more than twice as many as got jobs.
