You know Scottie, that might just be the best thing to happen as long as they continue to send out the Social Security checks on time. POTUS needs a wakeup call. And that bill created bad blood all over the country. Big Huge Hugs!!!! Angie

Hi Angie. Yes I agree. The saddest thing is the democratic party leader in the Senate helped move the bill to where the republicans could pass it. He said that if the 10 democrats did not it would have let tRump shut down any agency he wanted, he would be able to fire people, and he would take the money from programs he wanted to cancel. But that is what is happening now after the Billionaire Bailout Bill passed and the bill made some of it legal when before it was not. Sad. So many people hurt so a few could have more money they don’t need and will only use to increase their status as super wealthy. If you google who gets the most tax cuts from the bill it shows that the lower incomes see an increase on their taxes while those making $500,000 a year get tax cuts of more than the first couple tiers of working people make in a year. If you make over 6 million a year you get like $500,000 in tax breaks. Anyone making 6 million a year doesn’t need a tax cut. But the billionaires in the tRump administration feel the money is better in their investment accounts than paying for the food, medical care, and programs that help poorest people in the country. How far we have fallen from when the wealthy established hospitals, schools, and cultural centers with their excess money. Hugs

I’ve been reading about that. Reverse Robin Hood making him Robbing the Hood in my book. I’m in the process of writing an actual letter to you, so watch for the postman. I wrote to my brother every week for a couple of years before he died and miss that. So, simce I have shared my grandparents with you I will now begin writing letters — maybe typing them if I can keep my fingers on the right keys. Watch your mail. Huge hugs!

Sometimes I do as well. And most of the time my sentences tend to head upward even when I use lined paper, but I love writing letters. Feel free to toss or save for starting a fire if you need one. I will also enclose a photo of the quilt I will be donating to Catholic Charities in your name, specifying it be given to a boy. I think most of the time the girls get the things like that and I want this to be a tribute to your coming out alive from the abusive childhood. You are an inspiration to me and I feel honored to know you. Hugs!!!!

Hi Angie. Thank you so very much for the kind things you wrote and for the quilt you made. I love you asked it go to a boy. I think people forget boys need nice things to feel safe also. I look forward to your letters. It is a grand way to share your life with me. Hugs
