    Did you get that? The bank execs are so worried about their fucking bonuses that they're holding the entire country hostage.

    They're "slow-walking" information that the government desperately needs, and, worse yet, they're blackmailing the government by threatening to continue withholding credit to consumers and businesses if they don't get their precious bonuses.

    And they're tanking the stock market while whining about not getting personal handjobs from the president…

    The reality is that aides provide help that fills in the cracks so a person with a disability can remain living at home. They don't just prepare food, they also feed you if you need that. They help you dress and shower. Aides empty catheter bags, they help with using a lift, they help with transfers, and they sit patiently and turn pages so you can read your mail. They dial phones, open mail, pay bills, run errands, shop, help you get to the doctor and show up at midnight if you have a flood from a plumbing issue. They fill wheelchair tires with air and cut up food.

    And their help not only keeps people in their home, it keeps them working and paying taxes. The cost of in home help is cheaper than institutionalized care.
