there is no other place i've been to that has as many adult day cares as the RGV. can one of you dummies explain it to me?

No, but I was thinking the same thing the other day. Drove past three within a few blocks.

There are a lot of old sick people in the valley that need assistance (Hispanics with diabetes). The valley lives off of the govt. teet so thats where there HHC places all over the place.

Well, old people need to go somewhere during the day also right?

ok, this from the womb to the grave socialist government has got to stop.

we pay for prenatal care = medicare/medicaid

we pay for delivery = same

we pay for infant care and food = WIC

we pay for food and goverment assistance = WIC/medicare/medicaid/CHIP

we send them a government check = social security

we pay mom to stay home = unemployment check

we pay for food = lonestar card

we pay for illness/insurance = CHIP/medicare/medicaid

They grow up and cycle continues with the next generation until they're invalids and we have to pay for adult day care? Really?

all the while they make poor food choices with their lonestar card and get type 2 diabetes because have a poor diet and don't exercise.

Don't forget cell phones and cable TV, we pay for that too.

I knew that we provided free cell phones because they are advertised on TV all the time, but I didn't know about the cable TV. Are you sure? (Please say that you were kidding cuz I'm old and don't need that kind of stress!)

I beleive that my parents, who still live in the Valley, said that cable tv is provided or there is assistance available for cable tv. Either way, if cell phones weren't enough, let's just throw in tv while we're at it.

I think cable tv was thrown in because, "It is unfair that some can have it and others can't."
