4. I know a couple in their mid 80's

Both worked all their lives and were frugal. He worked at the farmer's co-op. She was a hairstylist and had her own small studio. He's been ill and is facing down both heart disease and cancer. At the age of 85, she works cleaning houses to be able to buy groceries. I worry what will become of them.

This nation is a frickin failure.
