People have become poorer under Obama, especially the elderly whom are retired, and the infirm. I know of one person who is handicapped, 100% disabled, and in a wheelchair. They make only $900 a month from their Social Security, which has seen little to no raises under Obama. Food stamps have been slashed to nothing under Obama, especially for single infirm people. However, it was stated that those refugees coming to the US, were being given $720 a month, which should be going to those on Social Security. Social Security is still in surplus every year, but congress takes those surplus funds, and issues the SSA bonds in their place. Simple IOU's, that the SSA may never get back, which are taxpayer dollars that should be sitting in the trust fund, that could be assuring better benefits for those on Social Security, and making sure that the money is there for the new retirees. Obama is glad to give illegal aliens and refugees money, but not give those on Social Security raises.
