14. There are already massive waiting lists for services for people with disabilities.

Services that allow people with disabilities to live safely, to participate in their communities, to live a life of dignity.

There are many aging parents who have lovingly cared for their adult children with disabilities for years but are now facing the reality that they will not be physically able to do so much longer.

I can tell you from personal experience of the anxiety and fear that the funding, the services that our loved ones need will not be there for them. After all greedy billionaires and soulless tech bros need their tax cuts and the sick gratification they seem to get from their acts of cruelty.

And the cuts to education facilitated by an ignorant Secretary of Education who didn't even know what the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) was will endanger opportunities for future generations of children to reach their fullest potential.

The Republican Party is filled with morally bankrupt degenerates. Because even if they do not support these cuts, they are equally guilty.

Sorry to vent. I'm in a dark place today.
