I can readily think of many other areas that need cutting so we can help these people live in a lifestyle that they deserve. I am not one to advocate many of the Federal giveaway programs. but I am convinced if there is one segment of our society that desperately needs some type of assistance from the Federal Government. it is our senior citizens and especially those who live on fixed incomes. So far Congress has bailed out the Chrysler Corp.. given away billions in foreign aid. taken thousands of Cuban refugees at a cost of over $400 million to the American taxpayer and yet these elderly citizens still pay their rent with no help in sight. Many of these senior citizens fought in the world wars so that this great Nation may be free to accent the refugee outcasts of the world. to allow the Chrysler Corp. to conduct business in a free business community. and so this Nation can be so strong that we are looked upon as the protector of the small and underdeveloped nations of the world. Yet these people who have given this Nation so much to be proud of think that this same great Nation has turned its back on them. In October.
