Yup, I'm a GOP nightmare.

Finally heard from Social Security: my monthly cost of living adjustment for next year is $12. That notice came the day after the one from the county informing me that my monthly SNAP benefit is being cut by $13.

Yay.

The state tossed me into the top tier of Medicaid with a copay, then claimed that my medical expenses had dropped (when only theirs on my behalf had dropped) as an excuse to slash the food stamps. Orwellian as hell. They wound up pushing me almost another $70 a month down the rabbit hole. I'll show the bustards what they are in midterms, though. GOTV!
