One of President Obama’s legacies after leaving office will be an increased number of Americans using food stamps.
During Obama’s presidency, it has been reported that the number of food stamp recipients has gone up by 10.7 million people, resulting in a 32 percent increase since he took office in 2009, according to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) data released by the Department of Agriculture.
SNAP benefits provide vouchers for groceries for qualifying low-income Americans.
Nearly 33,490,000 people received food stamp benefits when Obama began his presidency, and over the past 8 years since he has been in the White House, that number has soared to 44,219,123, which is an increase of about 10,729,000 people, according to the most recent data.

It's a double whammy - his policies cost so many their regular jobs - and his 'recovery' only added part time jobs....in addition to lowering the standard to qualify....
Close the borders and significantly reduce these kinds of benefits - and able-bodied people can go do the jobs the illegals did!
this was his goal...
Aka reparations.
1000% correct.
LEGACY - WORST president ever in the history of the world...a laugh at most
What a legacy!! Now to get all those lazy arses back to work will fall to Trump.
8 years of crap , it will take Trump many years to make repairs to a broken country.
He's staying in Washington , real bad move , he is the most hated person in the country.
Hopefully Trump will bring that percentage down
Question to ponder (which I don't know/have the answer):
Are more people in America going hungry than 8 years ago? Key part of the question is "people", not "Americans". Why? Cuz politico's can spin the question either way. "People" means too many illegals - "American's" could then mean there are less hungry than 8 years ago.
The other question would then be: Are there more poorer people (or American's) than 8 year ago?
Interesting questions depending upon the topic from the TV talking heads.
22 days left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awful president and living being sucking and wasting fresh air.
Now this is something he can't blame on 43; Obama manged to do this all by himself. Hey Michelle, there is your hope for ya.
Yup.
He had to help his Muslim friends.
I hope people using food stamps know that their time is running out. If you are able to work and are not working you should get nothing.
He probably Authorized the Extra for the Blacks and the
illegals here !!!
Probably had a Lobster and Liquor sticker to go with it !!!
Insurance for Blacks from the Obama Plan , Paid for by the
working Whites, Which was Ruining America , IS OBAMA'S
LEGACY ....
His Racism is his Legacy ..... Helping Enemys of USA !!
He did Not Care to fix Obama care or how much it Hurt
working Americans and the States ....just ignoring it !!!
$$$ for Hostages / Friends with Castro / can't say the
word Radical Islam / let illegals come in unvetted /
ties General's hands / Works Against America .......
