84. My grandfather had permanent nerve damage from working.....
in coal mines starting at the age of 8. Because of his size,they would send him into areas too small for grown men. He often ended up standing in hip deep in ice water. The nerve damage was permanent, he never did fully regain the feeling in his legs. He had a 3rd grade education.

I am just speechless that any politician would even say these words, let alone mean them! Have we truly lost all sense of decency in this country? Each day I'm more and more and more disillusioned......... no, more like disgusted with the USA.
