Otherwise, no problem, return the incumbent to office.

An alarming data point from the minority side of the Senate Budget Committee: More Americans are being added to food stamps than are finding jobs. The data is detailed in this chart, provided by the committee:As the chart shows, between April-June 2012 (the most recent three month block for which government data is available), only 200,000 jobs have been created while 265,000 individuals have been added to the food stamp rolls. Additionally, in that time period, 246,000 workers were awarded disability.Another chart shows that the last three month block is part of a larger trend. The chart, also from the minority side of the Senate Budget Committee, shows that “Workforce Shrinks Since January 2009 While Millions Sign Up For Disability And Food Stamps.”As the chart shows, since January 2009, when President Barack Obama took office, the net change jobs has been negative (-1.3 million), while 5.7 million workers and dependents have been awarded disability and a whopping 15.1 million have been added to the food stamp rolls.“A total of 46,670,373 Americans are now on food stamps,” according to the minority side of the Senate Budget Committee. “The food stamp program has doubled in size since 2008 and quadrupled since 2001.”And the government program isn’t cheap: “Spending on food stamps alone is projected to reach $770 billion over the next decade.”

Hmmmm.......Creating his depending Voter Base....like a 'dealer'.......Chicago politics.
When the unemployment figures in Britain turned too ugly for political survival, the labour government went all out promoting "disability".Something like ten per ccnt of the workforce is now disabled. Alcoholism, depression and sore back are sure fire tickets. In England you now have the third generation of disabled breeding disabled, apparently it is genetic.
Unskilled labour is most prone to disability, hence the need to import more of it. Seen it all before.
