Rdfrdmom2: I have been absent most of 2022 as I attempt to wade through all the military particulars, much less the personal ones since the unexpected death of my husband on 11/27/2022. It seems he took my muse with him. |

Rdfrdmom2: While 2020 was a tough, tough year for most everyone I know, it still was a year of positives if one would take the time to look for them. Ultimately, God is still in control, and for that, I am eternally grateful. |

Rdfrdmom2: I have been missing for awhile for an assortment of reasons - too many to list here. I'll be here sporadically over the summer as I'm having major foot surgery on July 9th. My 4 1/2 year old granddaughter, Lexi, has volunteered to be my nurse. Life doesn't get much better than that. |

Rdfrdmom2: It is high time for the citizens of the United States to place their resources on what is important ~ unless, of course, I do not understand what our citizens truly value. A culture is, and should be, judged by how it treats its young, helpless, and elderly. If one views budget cuts across the nation at every level, it would appear there is little or no real concern for the aforementioned categories. Rather than belabor the point, I simply ask you to seriously think about the following areas receiving major cuts: (no rank order) 1. public education 2. mental health care 3. Medicare 4. Medicaid 5. Famis (insurance for low income families with school-age children) 6. Aid for the Homeless 7. Social Services 8. Taking Millions from Hospitals 9. Paring pensions for government employees 10. Neglecting transportation systems in many states 11. Geriatric care 12. Extending life of school buses from 12 yrs to 15 yrs (how many politicians do you think drive their vehicles for 12 - 15 years?) 13. Reduction in forces in almost all areas of public service -- fire, police, rescue, etc. 14. Public assistance of any kind It is 2 a.m. I will get back on this again. While many will suffer from the budget woes, those who will suffer most are our elderly who worked faithfully with the expectation of at least being able to exist at the end of their journey; our children who are just beginning their journey; and the handicapped who are unable to take the journey alone. I ask you, what are we, as a nation, going to do about it? Roll over and allow it to happen or begin to take a stand? |

10-15% of the population without jobs. Countries die from within, not from Arabs some 13,000 miles away. If the people still have any power, they should use it to force us out of these wars and out of the occupation and deployment of troops in about fifty countries. Spend that payroll here where we need it. - | ||
