        Maybe if they stopped voting for people who claim that "government is the problem"...? That might be a good start.

        Narrator: Sadly, the government would not help bc the tax cuts robbed the poor and gave to the rich.

        I see a good many grandparents and great-grandparents raising children at a time in their lives when they should be winding down. They need our support, especially with Medicaid/CHIP. Many are retired and on Medicare themselves, and insuring a child w private ins is expensive

        Sick of these rural sob-stories.Back in the good old days when America was "great" their ancestors went out to these areas for opportunities. Now the opportunities aren't there anymore.They should practice the self-reliance they profess to love and move to where jobs exist.

        The hate and ignorance in this thread is disgusting. As if every rural American voted for Trump. And the ones who did were mostly middle class.
