what can we do, Richard, the state's are mostly Repubs admin wanting big business, pro petroleum, but accept being owned by Mansanto, or any other Koch Brothers stepping in. They've done managed care of Medicaid, and some states refuse to take money for it, cuts are looming, and the most vulnerable disadvantaged are up against odds. We need to see if the times are now from the opposing party, or always there. For instance, 20 years ago, if a mother was on Medicaid having another baby, they said, that's it, you only get 2. What they spew is that mothers on welfare keep popping out the kids, the people on the rolls haven't worked in 10 years, we've got people who can't pass a drug screen to get a job, people who are denied SSDI because they made too much money, the cycle of poverty is not as simple as welfare to work, we have a serious disabled system that won't allow the poor to keep their money, and when they do, everything goes up in their costs, not even over the poverty line. We got colleges being bought and sold, and a Congress that won't hear each other speak, and a president who won't stop his own personal agenda.
