27. An afterthought

Tue Mar 8, 2016, 08:07 AM

Mar 2016

I came here after a work injury and was facing homelessness, as I had no income and it took months for benefits to kick in.
It was in the middle of last years brutal Erie winter.

Am back on my feet now, but have stayed here doing volunteer work, filing for disability now.

During my time here, I have seen exactly what happened to the people when "welfare reform" was implemented, exactly what NAFTA and other "Free Trade" agreements have done - that is, put good men and women I once worked beside in the soup kitchen line.

Small wonder I fight for Bernie.

I have seen firsthand what America will look like if Trump or Hillary win.
