At 82, Hector’s mind remained sharp.
But physical ailments were piling up. Diabetes stabbed at his feet, his blood pressure spiked at times, and his heart stuttered on cold mornings.
But it wasn’t his health that turned Hector’s life upside down.

A huge tax break snuck into Trump & the GOP's big ugly bill would allow private jet owners to write off the full cost of their planes in the first year of purchase.
Meanwhile, the law will cause millions to lose food assistance and healthcare.

They are already talking about how we have to “rein in spending” — AFTER they get their tax cut, expecting us to believe they still care about the debt
This means they’ll oppose programs that help regular people and call them “fiscally reckless”
They think we are all morons
