Do you think that there are that many more people that qualify or that there are that many more people that have decided it is the easiest course of action under this administration?

Absolutely agree with the bolded. No question it's part of the problem. But again, the issue I have is with laying all of this on the current President.
In 2011, 3,041,500 applications were filed for SSI. In 2008, that number was 2,827,541. In 2001, it was 2,084,828.
I whole-heartedly agree that this is a trend that deserves to be examined. But to claim that it started with Obama is categorically false.
