(12,477 posts)10. Everything got cut for folks that got that laughable COLA
Every person I know on assistance, had their food assistance cut, heating/ac cut, rents all raised. Some meds denied under medicaid or supplimental... Every soul I know, is now lost money because of SS increase. Everything else was cut, plus, trump and his minions cutting "fraud".
Poor people are struggling mightily, yet all anyone talks about is middle class?!? Um, go stand in a food bank that you had to walk to in rain, snow, 100's... stand for 2 hrs, then walk back to your camp. You know cops gonna run you out, next day, 3 day limit... That whole "Livibility", part of our local cops. Fire season already. You can't cook in camp with a flame. No lunch meat at the food bank 🤷♀️
