This is in response to proposed cuts for the elderly who have need of assistance for living.

I think it is awful that the elderly have to worry if they are going to have some place to stay in the future. They are in assisted living places because they can no longer take care of themselves. That is not by choice.

If we allow it to happen, we should be ashamed.

I am sure that if things were reversed, the elderly family would do all they could to take care of us, and without complaints.

A solution for the problem might be to cut wages for top government officials, who are probably getting overpaid for some of their jobs.

Leave the elderly alone. They cannot fight politicians. All they want is to finish their final days in comfort.

Have a heart.
