that I could find comfort in the fact that freezing to death is faster than starving to death but both are so unnecessary.

For "exposure" of this filthy rotten dispicible fact. They might as well have frozen to death on the Capital steps.

Jesus and Mother Mary have mercy upon us for letting that happen.

We care more about murdering people over there more than helping our own here.

Surely they know they have the ability to save lives. Surely they understand that their policies cause great suffering and unnecessary death. Yet they go there anyway. It's not because of ignorance or even careless negligence. It's something truly horrifying, like social engineering or contempt or classism, or a combination of the three. These deaths were not a mistake. They are part of the plan.

We have to stand up for the homeless and destitute. If we don't, who will?

They wanted people who needed health care to simply die, if they could not afford the insurance. Republicans are worse than rabid animals...because they know better, they just don't give a damn.
