Honey, 40% of persons over the age of 65 live on Social Security alone, and the % is much higher if you restrict it to women over the age of 65, and even higher yet, if you restrict it to ethnic women over the age of 65.

Are you telling me that our government is going to let these people starve to death with they get old because there is no money for social security or medicare for health care. Do you REALLY think that? I don't. Medicare and Social Security might not look like it looks now, but I have faith that people who need help will get help in their elder years.

Again, my life is devoted to helping others, always has been, always will be. I see the good in people and I believe that we will come through this somehow, better and stronger. There are differing philosophies of how to get there. You and I don't agree, and we never will, so that is that. It doesn't mean that you are right, or I am right, it means we differ in our opinions of how to traverse this crisis. That's OK, as long as we respect each others' opinions and the actions of those who are trying to help - again - even if we don't agree, they deserve our respect.
