It was amazing to me to find out the other day that government agencies fund Viagra for sex offenders and low-income people, yet they do not fund insulin for diabetics. There is something wrong with that picture.
It’s true that diabetic supplies are funded, but what diabetics really need is the insulin itself. It goes to show how out of the loop the members of Congress are. I guess it’s par for the course with them. They have no idea what the people they represent want, nor do they care. They are all set for life, even if they don’t get re-elected.
Try to set some money aside for yourself though, shame on you.
This country is falling apart at the seams.
