Do you think the loss of jobs had anything to do with the rise in food stamps? How many did Bush start and end with? Whats the % of population on both periods?
Bigger question. If the only way trump can reduce the amount of people on food stamps is to eliminate funding or for the GOP to make draconian requirements then it isn't doing anything positive.
But then again. Aside from your truly conservative wit in playing with names the real truth will come in the next election.
