A reader just sent me this comment: I'm glad you are talking about this. I have retired friends, husband and wife, who decided to drive up from their home in S Carolina to try to help. They've been going back and forth staying a week or two at a time. It's every bit as bad as, or worse than, your post indicates.

I appreciate the comment, as it all sounds unbelievable. I know it is real. But it is hard to believe - not us, our caring - but the powers against us, their utter callousness, their blatant uncaring.

that 'one of the richest countries' is such a missers. A country with some of the richest people of the world, and a whole lot of people who hardly get by, would be a much better description. America has money for everyone but his own poor people. To see elderly people sleep in doorways of the rich says it all. To read that billions are spent on a war in another rich country while people in their own country are sleeping in a tent in the snow is just unreal.
