While Medicare and Social Security have been and continue to be in the crosshairs of the powerful, they are not social safety nets. Please refer to them as earned benefits or something of the like as that is what they are. We pay for them from every paycheck we earn.
Thank you. I grew in an upper middle class suburban family that was still deeply dysfunctional. I live at a lower income level now than anyone else in that family. But I have a good God and great friends and a terrific support network. I’m grateful for all the help and support I’ve received in life because I know that I haven’t earned or deserved it.
Powerful and authentic - just like its author
powerful and a heartfelt message. I am proud of you..

Great read - really loved getting a "boots on the ground" perspective on this!

This was wonderful to read, Cinda.
Thank you. Been messing with this, and it's been messing with me for about four years.
