Who is it who doesn't want Government Workers? Or, are jealous of what they have? It isn't "the people." Follow the Money.

My Mom and Dad in assisted living only a few years ago. But skilled-nursing was still ahead of them.

My state, Missouri, is always behind with a stinginess we can’t seem to break due to Missouri’s Roy Blunt one of congress’s ineffective senators always standing too close to the podium saying nothing looking lost.

This script nailed so many issues affecting us all.English: The National Consumer Voice for Quali...
