I would first want to ask what a "working person" is. Democrats often refer to "working people" as anyone who is not rich.

So do I doubt that more people get food stamps now than 6 years ago? Nope. We have a larger population now than 6 years ago.

6 years is a pretty arbitrary figure unless you're trying to somehow show that Bush is the cause for people signing up for welfare benefits (otherwise, I couldn't imagine why 6 years would be relevant unless 7 years ago, there were more people using food stamps than there are today).
