Can't believe I still live in USA

Just read Rep. Steve Cookson's Article of Oct. 21. I can't believe I still live in the USA, when a group of partisan legislators can get a doctor to lose privileges at hospital for being associated with a group against whom nothing has been proven and is still being investigated.

To your consternation abortion is legal in the USA. Get Roe v. Wade overturned and most of us wouldn't be upset, but that wouldn't give you a political stance very four years.

You conservatives speak so hatefully of people who are doing nothing illegal, but with a majority in the House, the Senate, five conservative justices on the Supreme Court plus a conservative majority in 30 plus states you hypocrites won't really try to overturn Roe v. Wade, because you will then lose an election issue.

Senior citizens don't get help

Yes, I'm answering the person who called about "Do we need to get on Welfare since we are on Social Security?" ABSOLUTELY! We don't get anything! I looked in the paper for today and if we were senior citizens and we have WIC and four members in our family you can make a total of $44, 863 to get all the cereal, milk and everything else for your kid or kids and it doesn't matter Welfare has already paid for those kids to be born in the first place and they're gonna live for next five years of their life with all the free milk, eggs, butter, cereal and anything else that WIC says they can have and it don't matter how much their parents make or PARENT -- because more than likely the mother of the child is NOT married. She has a man living with her but she's not married. I talked to a woman today. She has three children and her boyfriend and her live together and she has three children and she don't know how she's gonna make ends meet cause it's costing her too much money now that they are not on WIC. Well, whoopee do! Get married, ladies! And then have somebody to support you other than the government. I'm sorry but senior citizens don't get any help at all because you don't even get help with your . . . if you own your home you can't even qualify for household exemptions or homesteading exemptions. You can't get anything if you are on Social Security. You're a liability! Ask the President. At 65, we're supposed to take a course to end our life. We are useless after 65. Too bad we didn't die before 65 instead of sending all our money to Social Security so all these people from Welfare can drive around in brand new cars and eat steak! I love it! Thank you very much. I'm a senior citizen and been one for quite a while and I don't have anything either. I'm like the lady who cut back and I still don't have nothing other than $30 a month to buy groceries. Pretty bad when you can't even buy a piece and you eat hot dogs because you can't afford anything else. Isn't that nice? That's what we do when we work all of lives to put into Social Security and get back nothing. Not even a raise in pay this year. Thank you, government! You all get a raise in pay but we don't. That's just our money. Thank you very much.

Check facts

I'm answering Speak Out about the woman had talked to another woman about all the benefits she received from Welfare. She didn't say what state or what county. I doubt that it was Missouri. I've worked for Welfare and I remember in the 60s they were at their most liberal point and nothing like this occurred. I believe someone was pulling this women's leg. Thank you.
