Yesterday was Ronald Reagans birthday & Ms. Stefanik had a tweet honoring that fact. My reply to her via twitter is as follows: "Just a few "FACTS" about our "greatest" POTUS steffie. During his tenure the national debt increased by 186%. Much of that is attributable to 2 major things, his arms race with the USSR & his tax cuts. Like all GOP generated tax cuts they generally favor the rich & corporations. You steffie have a large constituency of elder retired workers like myself. In order to pay for these costly endeavors, He initiated an income tax on Social Security benefits, that is still in effect to this day."

Perhaps a change is in order?

This is all so important. I've seen reports on other countries who help subsidize adding on to a families home so that aging parents can live with them or helping to pay to move parents closer to their children. I live two hours north of my parents and the traveling since my step-father has been diagnosed has been brutal. Their GP just dropped their insurance as of June (JUNE! months before the open enrollment!) So much to address with our aging population.
