Not really about the cost, it's about how many people are forced to get on the program because of a shitty economy. Let's face it, if the economy is doing well, then less people would need food stamps, not more!
he said it during the presidential debates, he claimed credit basically for oil production being up, when in fact, he has issued less new leases than Bush or Clinton in the same amount of time. Production is up on private land.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
