They don't give a hoot if you are loosing everything you worked for all your life or can't afford to eat. They don't care if your lights are going to be cut off. They don't seem to realize that when a person becomes disabled, that persons bills are not put on hold. They keep coming and coming and a person has got to survive somehow. Take SSDI, that money is not theirs. It was paid in by the person applying for it and they are bound and determined that the person is not going to get it without a long drawn out battle royal and sometimes not even then. All the so called "lawmakers" in Washington who were elected by these people to help them and protect their rights and property. But yet and still, these elected officials let one of their own organizations cause this terrible nightmare for the people who gave them their cushy job in the first place. It just don't make sense.
