    Americans have been poisoned with the idea that any kind of aid to poor people is the cause of poverty.

    And now we’re going to get a hard dose of what its like to live in a country without social benefits.

      As someone on SSDI, Medicaid/Medicare, and in HUD housing…… I’ve been terrified since Jan 20th. But I had hope that this bullshit might be stopped because I foolishly believed the Democrats would grow a fucking spine.

      All these people who keep telling me I’m over exaggerating (on both sides) — especially my own family — will be shocked when I’m homeless or disappeared in the next few months.

      This is a nightmare that never ends. I just want to wake up and for it all to be over.

        I’m in the final stages of getting on SSDI and I just don’t know what to do. If I work through the pain I’m going to be proving them right but i don’t have a job and i have no idea how much longer they will drag this shit out on me.
