This will the first time in my entire life that I will have EVER voted for a Dem candidate. I never thought I would see that day but it has come to that. I have always voted Repbulican in every election and I have voted consistently my whole adult life.
Wow-It boggles my mind to think I would even consider voting for Jerry Brown but I will. Meg Whitman doesn't get it. The IHSS program which she wants to so drastically cut is a money-saver for Calif. My disabled daughter has Austism and her case worker told us that out of home placement for her would be almost $6,000.00 a month as she has to be supervised 24/7.
I do the same job but at about one third of the that cost. So how does reducing the IHSS program which saves taxpayer money? If Meg and her adminstration remove a lot of these clients out of In-Home Care they will have no choice but to go into nursing homes.
What will this cost? I am very tiring of hearing Meg say that there is so much fraud in this program. How about some hard cold facts to back that up? Talk is cheap. Every day I have to feed my daughter and help with toileting and think about what Meg says about us "criminals". It is despicable.
At least Jerry Brown can do the simply math and he knows that this is one program to saves money.
