So much for positive thinkin'. :-( 3 weeks since

So much for positive thinkin'. :-(

3 weeks since Obama won again and I'm just startin' to accept it and plan accordingly.

I watch the U.S. Debt clock and the food stamp recipients # was 47,155,000+ when Obama won his second term.  There was a huge spike in new applicants the following week and since then has now tapered off to about 4300 new applicants p/day,  with current recipients at 47,704, 000+.

If the trend remains the same for the next 4 years as is currently increasing (4300 p/day), that adds up to only approx. 6.27M new mouths on the taxpayer's back.

Bad as that is, it's still not quite as bad as his first 4 years.

I'll be watching it (food stamp recipient numbers) closely though, as I consider it a very telling sign of where our country is going.

I'll update if and when the trend makes a considerable/significant difference for the worse.

Hopefully, I won't have to.
