Disabled toddlers therapy unfunded after govt changes. His medication is over $500 a month so they're now having to fundraise.
This govt. just don't seem to have understood the reality of the changes they're making; for some it will mean life or death, including this child. Or is it that they understand only too well but just do not care?

Here's a cartoon for you Lilith7 and it even has trickle-down:
It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche

Of course, heaven forfend they should miss out on - well, anything really.
Remember those old early 20th century comedies about mean evil landlords keen to chuck out families - unless of course, the very attractive wife or daughter was inclined to be more friendly towards him....
