Social Security Disability Seen Insolvent Unless Congress Votes

[RKP5637]

31. Thank you, freshwest, for the pep talk. Eventually it just gets

so discouraging. I live in KS, and often I feel I'm right at the epicenter for a lot of the loony politicians in the RW teaparty. I've sent so many letters, signed petitions and made phone calls, but often you start to feel like a flickering candle in a rain storm.

With the recent tax shenanigans just signed by our governor, I've decided to just leave. I've been working on making that happen for a couple of months now. Sometimes, I think eventually one has to just walk away from it all. The books written about KS are on target and Bill Maher actually did a movie about KS. It's a nice place in many ways, but the regimented RW republican voting here is unbelievable.

It's a place quite scary to grow old in ... with the recent tax legislation more and more safety nets will be removed, schools will be way underfunded and property taxes are possibly going to soar. The tax legislation will leave KS in the red by several billion dollars. It's going to be a horrible scenario, many fear.
