@maddow.msnbc.com as a 70-year-old disabled widow on social security, with an incurable degenerative disorder that requires expensive infusions paid for with Medicare/Medicaid, and receiving SNAP benefits the gutting of these programs will leave me homeless, non-functional, and starving (dead).

Just to put a "human face" on what the cuts to social safety nets and social security can cause: I am a disabled 70-year-old widow and social security is my only income. I have a progressive degenerative disorder that requires expensive infusions. I receive SNAP benefits. These cuts will kill me.

It's only been 2 weeks...seems like 2 years! I'm afraid of what this country is going to be in 2 years...certainly not a democracy if this vengeful, heartless, racist, sexist megalomaniac isn't stopped.
