well, it seems that every blind, deaf, deaf-blind and other dialed = people
need to start a mass petition to get this changed. THere is no = way that I
will be able to handle a 19% hit next year. my rent has = already gone up
and if I am forced to take that cut, I will have to sell = off what I have
and go live on the streets. THis is not a pleasant = prospect and, in fact,
can be a very dangerous situation for a blind = person.

now, I know of one way we can save the disability fund: dump all those = off
who have no business being there. This means that fakers, wannabes = and
illegal aliens will no longer be able to suck at the government tit. = Its
either that or the government starts hiring US at going market rates = so
that we can support ourselves. I don't see the private sector being = very
cooperative.

anyway, enough of my rant.
