The Water Cooler Title: The U.S. House of Representatives Unanimously Approved A Resolution Urging Care For Elderly Holocaust Survivors WASHINGTON (JTA) -- The U.S. House of Representatives unanimously approved a resolution urging care for elderly Holocaust survivors. The nonbinding resolution passed 407-0 on Wednesday "urges the Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services, in conjunction with the Administration on Aging (AoA), to provide Holocaust survivors with needed social services through existing programs; and encourages the Administration on Aging to expeditiously develop and implement programs that ensure Holocaust survivors are able to age in place in their communities and avoid institutionalization during their remaining years." The resolution, sponsored by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), comes as Jewish groups fear that funding cuts planned for the new Congress in the wake of Republicans winning the House will affect programs for the elderly. It also "applauds the nonprofit organizations and agencies that work tirelessly to honor and assist Holocaust survivors in their communities." The Jewish Federations of North America strongly backed the resolution. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest unfreaking believable! Not a single one of these bastards any longer has any right at all to whine about the deficit. "I adore John McCain, support him 100 percent and will do everything I can to support his reelection.

#3. To: mcgowanjm (#2) Purely symbolic. It doesn't matter. They are voting to provide taxpayer funded "free" medical care to people injured as foreigners on foreign soil during a foreign war,while cutting veterans benefits at the same time. Not to mention cutting SS benefits. "I adore John McCain, support him 100 percent and will do everything I can to support his reelection. As everyone knows, I was honored and proud to run with him.
