Inherent Cruelty

She worked for fifteen plus years, contributing to the Social Security System just like all of us, then stayed home to be a full-time Mom (They have three kids). If the husband can bring home enough bacon, more power to them. Years later, she is diagnosed with ALS. There is no cure, and you don't die easily.
They apply for Social Security Disability. DENIED. Seems one must file within five years of having last been employed to qualify for benifits. The taxes she paid while working, well, to bad. Seems Uncle Sam can taketh away, but isn't to worried about the giveth part. Who out there HASN'T experienced the automatic denial that is the first step in the gauntlet involved in getting the benefits we are entitled to depended upon our particular circumstances? The good Governor of Missouri is reducing the Medicaid program in his state as much as the Federal government will allow him, and is busy looking for a way to eliminate the program altogether. God bless him. It's good to know we have such compassionate conservatives out there protecting us hard working Americans from these parasites.
If this is what Jesus had in mind when he said love thy neighbor, I think something got lost in the translation.
