ASHAMED to be an American today -- Hungry Seniors

I went to lunch yesterday, McD's dollar menu, with three friends. It is all we can do anymore, I am retired disabled and 2 of the three have lost their jobs. But we are long time friends, so where does not matter.

Accross from us were 3 tables of senior citizens, all they can do for a lunch out too I guess. But their conversation was clear and (becuase of hearing problems) loud enough for us to hear.

They were dealing drugs, no shit, pain medication. Why?

They were hungry.

its more common than you think.

and do you remember the stories out of the reagan years of elderly people buying pet food to have something more to eat?

The old folks sell their pain pills here too

The feds closed down a doctors office here in town last spring. Now all the whores have went up on their prices. A bj used to cost ten bucks, enough to buy two pills, now the pills cost eight bucks apiece and blowjobs are running twenty bucks.

So I guess it helps the old folks, but it sure does make it a hard choice . Risk jail or do without.

This country is so far from where we should be and the fucking republicans want to make it so much worst. Scary days ahead for every american.
