KINSMAN, Ohio — For years, Tammy and Joseph Pavlic tried to ignore the cracked ceiling in their living room, the growing hole next to their shower and the deteriorating roof they feared might one day give out. Mr. Pavlic worked for decades installing and repairing air-conditioning and heating units, but three years ago, with multiple sclerosis advancing, he had to leave his job.

By 2015, Ms. Pavlic was supporting her husband and their three children on an annual salary of $9,000, earned at a restaurant. That year, they tapped a county program funded by Congress, called the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, to help repair their house.

The next year, they voted for Donald J. Trump, who has moved to eliminate the HOME program ...

1. I don't at all feel sorry for the stress they feel as a result of trump's proposals

You get what you vote for. They voted for this asshole and now they get to "enjoy" the result.

2. And who'd they vote . . . yep, that's who they voted for!

3. The problem with this group of people:

“We have people who are coming into this country who are trying to hurt us, and I think that we need to be protected.”

They will live in a hole and eat dirt if the Orange Shitstain tells them foreign brown people want to kill them.

6. I grew up in that area

I lived in the county directly north of there for 18 years before I went to college and for a few years after. It is heartbreaking every time I go up. It is a place in its dying throws and frankly people like this arguably deserve it.
