I'm recently disabled. No family. Can't make bills. I have been trying to sell stuff. There are few people who are vocal for folks like us who have no advocates. It'll be tough. I can't even drive so living in a car will not be an option for me. But I try not to think about it. No one has or will fight for me but me.

My advice for you is to try to find a roommate. I have been trying for almost a year.

Medicaid pays for nursing homes and rehabilitation centers. Cut Medicaid and those institutions will close.

Greedy people are stealing everything and as long as they crap on people and steal more they do it .
It still does not feed their empty souls. No one in this country should be afraid of losing their support
Services but here we are. For what it’s worth I care and we are doing what we can to stop the avalanche of greed and stupidity.

later years is not likely to impact disabled, young kids, etc.

Definitely not necessary, but those most likely to be hurt are older adults who the MFers think should at least volunteer or work for 20 hours a week.

Most Blue states will likely find some way to cover that 5% cut. At least I hope so.
