4. Way out of control, nothing to stop them

I warned my fellow caregivers who do live-in care, about the latest cruel policy proposal.

Homecare workers through the state Medicaid system, at least here in Oregon, $20 ish an hour. Really,? Homecare "fraud" is the issue getting attention, while trump and his minions are scheming 100s of millions per minion, Not including his grifter kids!

Heating and cooling subsidies slashed. Food assistance, slahed. Public transportation, slashed. Every person I know who relies on some assistance, got cut. My client was cut from $220 a month ebt, to $80. This is not sustainable and just down right cruel.

I haven't lost hope yet, but these rich bastards running our country are giving it their best shot.
