Remind me: What is it that rolls downhill?

A few days ago I wrote about my concerns about some negative impacts of the new president and his complicit Congress. http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028804568

Well, it continues. I just got a call from the agency that provides housekeeping help for those tasks I can no longer perform (vacuuming, scrubbing the floor, etc.); they've been sending someone for two hours, twice a month. Their funding has been cut. They are now only allowed to send someone once a month.

I thought she was going to cry as she was telling me this, and I told her that I understand that this isn't her doing; I also told her about what happened with SNAP and what the housing office intimated. She said that her brother is in circumstances almost identical to mine, she's scared for him.

Some days it's just no fun to reside at the bottom of the hill.

Check with your Town, County, State if there are any programs to help pick up the slack.
