I go to an art class a couple of times a week since I retired.
All kinds of people go there. Of the "regulars", the ages range from 20 or so to 80.
There are classes for drawing, sculpting and ceramics. Some actually supplement their income. For instance, there is one couple where the husband is an engineer and the wife takes orders for specialty designed ceramic dish sets that she makes and sells.
So when the sessions are open and people are just doing their "thing", many talk while they are working. Naturally, some talk about their families. Many of them have parents that need care or are just retired or they are retired and go to this art studio.
I don't know a single retired that doesn't get Medicare and Social Security.
A couple have a family member with a disability. One girl's mother had a stroke and she needs care. Another one's father has ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or what's known as Lou Gehrig's disease. There is no cure, no halting and no reversal.
Real people who just want to live their lives.
Republicans want to ruin these people's lives for some reason I haven't figured out. Don't USMB Republicans have parents? None of them have anyone on disability? Many of the fathers, like me, are veterans. There is even a nurse who was a nurse in the military.
I know that Trump and none of his family have ever been in the military. Neither has Romney and none of his family. But don't some of these billionaires and millionaires need to support workers and veterans who have spent their lives supporting this country? Do we really need to cut off those with a disability so Trump and Romney can have even more?
We know Republicans are targeting Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security next.
If Republicans manage to fulfill their plan of slashing Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security along with slashing funding for education, job training, school lunches for poor children and so on, what kind of country will we live in?
Don't USMB Republicans have family? None are sick or disabled? None are old enough to get Medicare and Social Security? None need healthcare? How did they do it? How did they get to be so exceptional? So "special"? How do they avoid having any problems or illness in their families? Just lucky?
