27. back in the bad ol' days, before social security
Edited on Mon Aug-16-10 08:49 AM by northernlights
and again,before they put COLA into social security, many elderly people were believed to be eating cat food because that's all they could afford. I don't know whether or not that truly happened -- there are healthier, tastier ways to eat cheaply than catfood.

This isn't about rubbing people's faces in their poverty. It's about a group of people who is trying to return those people to abject poverty.

It's a reminder to all what that commission intends to do and is a wake-up call to everybody to stop the commission in its tracks.
