If Gov. Romney gets his way on poverty:

■31 million people—predominantly children, seniors, people with disabilities, and the working poor—will lose access to health insurance due to Medicaid cuts

■46 million people could see their bare-bones nutrition aid (averaging $1.50 per person per meal) reduced to below what the Department of Agriculture considers minimally adequate OR 8 million to 10 million people could lose access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program altogether

■Approximately 191,000 children could be kicked off Head Start, which helps provide at-risk preschoolers with the educational, health, nutrition, and family support services they need, in the next two years

■More than 4 million children in low-income school districts could see their educational services reduced or eliminated in the next two years

1. Shut the doors of the Non-Profit Agencies for the DD population

which run Day Hab and Group Homes. It almost happened in Florida with Scottie boy trying to cut Medicaid funding which is how these places operate. Besides, how many people would then be unemployed? Oh, then they will get REAL jobs for PROFITS.

2. Romney: "Let 'em PRAY for what they need."

Asshole.
