They cut food safety, health care, education programs. The wealthy are doing better. The middle class are doing poverty, I am in a class that is below poverty in my state. The only thing is I have a good landlord who helps people.

I think the country is in such a state of shock, they havent fully realised what he's done to the Whitehouse. A staggering act of vandalism.
