THEY TOLD ME IF I VOTED FOR JOHN MCCAIN, we’d have a rerun of the Great Depression, with poverty-stricken Americans standing in line for hours in the cold for a chance at relief. And they were right!
Despite the freezing temperatures, hundreds fought for a place in line in Marietta to apply for federal aid to help pay their heat and power bills this winter. . . . Marshall said people in line were crying, afraid they would not even get a chance to apply.
“I never thought I would be in the line,” Marshall said. “It’s almost like being in a soup line during the great depression.”
Well, we were promised change.
