2. You have explained our situation exactly, far better that I could.

AS an 82 year old widow with health and financial issues, I doubt if I'll be around for the next 4 years.
I am filled with anger and despair as I go through the daily news.

I can't afford to stay in my house, but can't afford to move.
Living on Social Security is hard. Now my town has reassessed properties and things are worse.

Move? Can't find an apartment at less than $3500 to $4000 a month. All require first, last and security deposits. Not in the cards.
If trump eliminates Social Security, I, along with millions of other seniors will be up a creek.

Best wishes to all who grit their teeth at the latest news coming form this idiot who now hold the office of president. He and his cronies will bring us down. Working all your life means nothing to the republican party. Not just the MAGA'S but the rest of those who hide in the closet and pretend all is well.
