Roarrrr!
Give away tenure teachers and you get a raise. I call that blackmail with a purse. What do Republicans call it, "the biggest raise in history for teachers."
Cutting around 7,500 teaching assistants to cover the raise and more.

Fifteen thousand or so blind and disabled people will be cut from Medicaid. Medicaid? Medicaid?

Or in the Dollar Store one day, the medicine isle: the young teenager, with pimple ridden face says to Grandma, "I wish we could afford more than the generic brand." Grandma stood in stoic concrete as did I; the pain zapping us old folks into the child's reality.
How on earth have we arrived here?
