Another "bad side" of the "good news" is that older women with disabilities are being
forced from welfare to work that is essentially life-threatening for them. In a case
reported on NPR, a 55 year-old woman with a serious heart condition was forced to
take a job cleaning parks. When she went to legal aid to make a complaint about her
situation, the legal aid society discovered that Clinton had signed a bill forbidding
legal
aid societies from defending the rights of welfare complainants who believe they are
being denied rights to which they are entitled.
Interesting. If benefits are denied you unfairly, you have no right to file a legal
complaint!
Now it's work or die. This bill is currently being challenged in court by the legal aid
societies.
This may rankle some on this list, but as the 40-somethings are being dislodged from
their corporate niches in favor of the cheaper 20-somethings, even you may, one day,
come to appreciate the importance of these issues.

frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
