Wait, why do Republicans blame Obama for people being on food stamps? [View all]

Maybe if their blessed job creators were hiring more people and paying them at competitive wages instead of wanting employees to compete for minimum wage jobs, then the number of people on food stamps wouldn't be as high.

Let's go over the logic:
People are fighting over minimum wage jobs
When they're not enough to actually pay for things then they have to utilize the safety net
But instead of blaming the people pushing these jobs, let's blame the guy who is in charge of the safety net

I spent time looking for a comparison, but I just can't. It's that idiotic.

And that's what we're running against.
