I tell them I am doing better now than 4 years ago. I am an artist and have some medical issues. Four years ago, I was barely making it working two part time jobs at a convenience stores and now under Obama I have SSI disability payments, EBT card for food, I am on medicaid now, and my rent pretty much paid for through section 8. I can now just focus on my art. I cannot imagine going back to the mean Repug's policies that would put me back on the street and homeless. What makes things worse is that a lot of my family are lawyers, engineers, doctors but they never offer to help out their family that do not have it so well off. Fuckers.
