Disabled services slashed

What did I tell ya?

Just 4 days ago, I posted here about how something like this was going to happen. Now it has. States are now slashing services for the disabled and elderly, using the excuse of budget shortfalls.

Because of these cuts, low-income disabled Americans are being shuffled off to nursing homes even when home-based care is much more suitable.

The shortfall excuse is just that: an excuse, not a valid reason. States and cities have managed to scrounge up millions for construction of equestrian centers for wealthy horse breeders to show off, new stadiums for greedy sports team owners, subsidies for rich private schools, land deals to benefit big box retailers, more prisons, and handouts to abusive youth confinement gulags.

They call that "compassionate conservatism"?
