I along with many of us Oldster's here,remember the so called good old days pre LBJ and the Great Poverty Programs that were specifically targeted to Appalachia and other pockets of mega poverty. To this day,do remember the likes of Nixon and other Rethugs yelling from their Congressional Offices how those folks will become lazy and won't look for employment and the Socialist State will take over. Sound fimiliar.

Until we fix the Ignorance issues in our Country,we will keep on seeing these same idiot's running our Country into the ground all in the name of the Mega Rich.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
