In the end, it is our job to make sure that facts really matter. There hasn't been a single law or executive action under Obama that changed the standards and qualification limits for SNAP (AKA "food stamps&quot until the GOP made the recent cuts. The reason more people are on SNAP is that more people are living in poverty, and the reason for that is the income continues to skew toward the top 0.1%. Those are the facts. The facts matter.

And Obama has done fewer executive orders per year than any modern President. That is the fact, no matter what Cruz wants to say. We have to make sure that the facts catch up to these irresponsible charlatans.
