Seen it first hand in Wisconsin,and the hardest effected are Older White Persons. Especially ones that have any Medical issues. The real nasty is,the lost of Food Stamps and Medical Facilities.

The Percentage Map that is associated with these topics is way off for Wisconsin. Unfortunately we have tons of Relatives trying to eek out some semblance of a living in that state,and by their responses,simply saying,they are not doing very well and they all voted Rethug,but it is Obama's fault.

They just do not get it.
