that "talk/call" time is critical to success, that is the last thing they will do. More likely, they will shorten the threshold on what they consider long-enough and force more off the job for violating it. Regardless of who sits in the Administration.

shortage of workers that cannot get the paperwork done. When I worked at social services many years ago when the cuts first started we were in much the same situation. We had one worker in charge of 100 Medicaid cases. She had a nerves breakdown before anyone figured out that she had too many cases.

As to regardless of who sits in the Administration - what do the Democrats gain by screwing up their own departments and getting everyone angry at them. It was and is the Rs that are benefiting from the mess their own cuts have caused.

People like you and I aren't responsible for running the place and the top level decisions that need to be made.

coverage and homelessness. Wonderful world we live in. Hopefully something will happen that actually wakes the ordinary people up.

One can only hope. Like I always say, they are pro-life and pro-war until an actual birth or war.
