Tax and Spend

Of course Obama is using welfare to buy votes.

"According to Jeff Sessions, the ranking Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, means-tested welfare programs soared to over $1 trillion last year. The federal government accounted for $750 billion of that, while $250 billion came from the states, which leveraged federal payments into even larger expenses."

But just like Obama's debt hasn't created jobs, I doubt this will buy him nearly as many votes as he hopes.
