This is what is really at the heart of the issues for Trump supporters.

"You know, Paul, Reagan proved that deficits don't matter. We won the mid-term elections, this is our due." - Darth Cheney

Of course he forgot to add the caveat "except when a Democrat is president."

Couldn't find an ethnic breakdown on food stamps, but I did find this:

"Obama’s legacy is almost certain to include a stubbornly large increase in the food stamp rolls. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projects a very slow decline in the rolls. As of its most recent “baseline” projections of the program, CBO estimated that when Obama leaves office in 2017, the number of food stamp beneficiaries will still be at 42.7 million — one third more than when he entered."

Obama’s Numbers (January 2015 Update)

Not sure, I'd trust a graph from the Heritage Foundation :-)

The deficit has been steadily declining under Obama. Considering the debt he inherited from Dubya, the bailing out of the banks which was agreed before he came in and the hidden cost of invading Iraq which was left off the books and brushed under the carpet, I think he's done ok.

Everything is subjective unless quantified with actual facts, none of which any of us can be arsed to produce. I've travelled extensively and lived all over the UK before I moved here. When all said and done, America is the greatest country in the world, that's why so many of us live here and in many cases will never go back. To be in denial about America's greatness or to simply rubbish my statement as jingoism when to be American is to love your country first and foremost, I think is very strange from an immigrant pov. The British don't do flag waving so my pov understandably won't sit well on a forum of ex pat Brits but it's shared by the vast majority of Americans, I assure you

"to be American is to love your country first and foremost" Is this not related to jingoism? I dont think that many people will argue with you that many Americans think that America is the greatest.
Given the odd juxtapositions in your post, I am thinking, you are just pulling our leg.

Black unemployment rate, January 2009: 12.7%

Black unemployment rate, February 2016: 8.8%

Last I checked, 12.7% was a higher figure than 8.8%.

The only thing that is accurate about you is your handle.

Got any sources for these statements?

As for food stamps:

Pass the Kool-Aid!!!

Lowest food stamps numbers in four years I see.

I didn't move here because I thought it was the greatest country in the world (DH's job) and to be honest, most of the time, I am just appalled by the government of this country, democrat or republican. However, I do like most Americans I meet and most of them appeared to acknowledged that they love their country but it has serious issues and is far from being the greatest country in the world. Of course, I do happen to live in one of the most liberal towns in TX.
Deep down, I am hoping that all my kids moved back to the UK but that isn't going to happen so I am quite happy to live here, regardless of their ridiculous electoral system. As long as it stays out of my life and I have voted, I will take my chances. If I was still on a green card/visa and had no say on the outcome, I would be pretty pissed off at the mess that is happening now.
At least I have the option of moving back if it really does back fire when/if Trump gets elected. Most Americans don't have that option. Of course with the chaos about to explode in the UK if the Brexit does actually happen, I might be just as well staying here.

I see the goalposts have moved now your black unemployment claim was debunked.
