Long Term Care payments are being cut due to lack of funds from dwindling workers paying taxes. Many states are cutting those payments, just to much tax going out for younger people to pay for vulnerable elderly.

You're waiting for nothing, nobody is coming to rescue anybody.

Remember who you used to be.

Now, dust your feet off and straighten your crown, somebody needs you 😊

Homeless is in all America's cities. With the higher cost of housing, food, health care, taxes, weather damage homes, layoffs, divorces, drugs and mental illness, and more, more Americans will become homeless. Will we be with them?
Our government gives billions of taxed dollars to foreign countries. They should use more here.
Cities spend millions on civic buildings, parks, museum, roads, bridges, etc.
The city where I live, they built a dog pound with a price of 3 millions dollars. Three bridges with no water to cross, a channel may be made, maybe.3 millions in my neighborhood improvements, sidewalks, tree limps trimmed ( I don't see much change.) No new sleeping shelter in 30 years. Homeless is increasing each year.
