Grandma Smith Is Coming To Town!
Trump just released his new budget for 2021, including $750 billion in Medicare cuts and $76 billion out of Social Security disability benefits. Worse yet, the budget cuts more than a trillion from Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program. This has several implications. With all these cuts one outcome may be the closure of all those safety net programs that Grandma depends on to live independently. What happens when her Medicare is cut? How about her housing support? Will she need to move into your house? What then? If you are a two-earner family, one of you may have to quit your job to babysit.
The following song shows some probable outcomes..
Grandma Smith is coming to town
You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I’m telling you why
Grandma Smith is coming to town.
Paint that room
make those beds
Clean with the broom
Stock up her meds
Grandma Smith is coming to town..
Trump cut her social security,
He cuts her Medicare.
He closes down her living place,
He is her worst nightmare.
Paint that room
make those beds
Clean with Clorox
Stock up her meds
Grandma Smith is coming to town.
Prep the enema kit,
Pay for all her care,
Hire extra maids.
Complain? Don’t you dare!
SO! Paint that room
make those beds
Clean with Clorox
Stock up her meds
Grandma Smith is coming to town.

After my father ran through all of his Medicare benefits while fighting a losing battle with a hospital superbug after a successful heart surgery, my grandmother mother had to declare poverty to get Medicaid for him In 2005. She went into assisted living in about 2012. She refused to stay with my sister, although my sister still had to care for her needs and we had to pay a considerable amount in the last two years to keep her there. Fortunately, she just died and will not have to face what those following her will have to face under Trump's welfare plan for the rich and his budgets.
Grandma is coming home to roost, and neither she nor the kids, will like it.
