Why the crowd of people kissing Republican ass and allowing spineless Democrats to keep mis-prioritizing things cannot see this is beyond me.<br /><br />I mean, yes, the progressively more fascist right thinks such people ARE throw-aways; but damn it, why more ordinary people can't get the wrongness of this is beyond me.<br /><br />When my eldest son thought he was going to be sent to Iraq, he told me, "Mom, if I come back fucked up and am going to be in a bed for life, please END it for me." I knew that would mean a story like this one; because, frankly, seriously disabled vets are no better off and there is no respite for their parents or spouses, either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-5589870064024690802012-03-10T09:07:00.325-08:002012-03-10T09:07:00.325-08:00In the late 50's my Mom had severe depression ...In the late 50's my Mom had severe depression and anxiety problems. My Dad a private practise Psychologist had access to Private centers that were able to provide help. In early 2000 my wife had similar problems and there were no public or private centers that we could get her into or afford.

That was hard hitting got a bit of life and of course went away. Hardly anyone gets it and our side in DC needs to say that all the time.

I found it exhausting to take care of elderly parents who had frail bodies but all their faculties. I can't imagine the strain of taking care of an adult autistic child.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I think Nan's right. The Rethugs want the "unproductive" to just die off. The working poor can be replaced with illegal immigrants who will work for half the wages and are ineligible for any sort of government help; after all, somebody still has to mow rich people's lawns and clean their houses. The poor, the disabled, the old, anyone who can't be a skilled cog in their money-making machine, they'd like to see dead.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03079852628674185384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-49534348986228592532012-03-10T07:42:12.694-08:002012-03-10T07:42:12.694-08:00First this is so sad.

There are many optimists out there and you just have to have that and not the same amount of guys like me who are not like that. <br /> <br />So - - there are many who think the bad shit like this is gonna get better on many levels. Well it's not. I'm sorry to say that but it's just going to at least anytime soon if ever.One Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03772881642197609507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-48498180050808568992012-03-10T06:10:58.954-08:002012-03-10T06:10:58.954-08:00Guess we're finding out the answer to Scrooge&...Guess we're finding out the answer to Scrooge's question of "Are there no workhouses?" I used to think the Republicans wanted to bring back county poor farms and state orphanages. Nope.
