In November 2008 our new president promised change. Let’s look at that.

The poverty level was 12.5 percent. It’s now 15 percent. National debt was $10.626 trillion; now $18.151 trillion.

Facts by Congressional Budget Office: Even after massive tax hikes included in Obama’s budget, the president would more than double the national debt in just 10 years, thereby pushing America over a fiscal cliff.

Food stamps are up from 25 million to 47 million. I am not against helping the poor. Over 109 million now receive some form of federal welfare. Forty-seven percent of our population pays no federal income tax, and this is growing. They do pay Social Security tax.

Some 102 million working age people jobless. Jobs now pay less in most cases than they did eight years ago. People who have paid for health insurance in the past, like myself for over the past 50 years, have seen our cost more than double in the past four years.

My family has lost four doctors who no longer take Medicare. One of our doctors only takes checks; no insurance or credit cards. Only the rich got richer; the middle class is shrinking.

Our foreign policies are a disaster. Look at where we are with Russia and China to name a few. We have sold out our only ally in the Middle East, Israel.

We now negotiate with countries like Iran that support terrorism. The new agreement releases over $100 billion to them to continue to supply weapons, manpower and money to the terrorists in Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Gaza. Anyone who believes that this agreement will stop them from building nukes is in denial.

So are these the changes you expected? Want more of the same? Vote for Hillary. Note: Information obtained from Snopes and Google.
