(21,295 posts)is going to be breathtaking. Look at stats about people living from paycheck to paycheck, and being one medical emergency away from finiancial disaster. Most Americans have little or no savings. On top of that, just saw a headline yesterday that Americans are carrying a trillion dollars in credit card debt.
Then add that all of a sudden that nursing care for disabled children or ailing seniors is completely out of reach for people lucky enough to own a mobile home on a rented lot. All of a sudden, healthy adults are going to juggle their jobs, their relationships and care of those loved ones who can't take care of themselves. Added to that that, many Americans are out of practice living in multi-generational homes with relatives they don't like. There won't be a choice, because the evil voters who put this on us will be sure to shame anyone in their villages who leave their loved ones in a ditch somewhere.
If the r's fill their wish list, it won't just cause financial disaster, American society as we've lived it for 3 to 5 generations will be shaken to bits.
We'll wish for life to be nasty, brutish and short.
