  3. This makes no sense whatsoever.

    Everybody knows it saves money to be at home vs a nursing home. Not only that, but people who are at home aren't exposed to unnecessary germs and subsequent illnesses.

    This make no sense.

  5. Right, Anonymous, cut the politician's perks and there's plenty of money to go around to those who really need it.
