"In 2013, a study by the United States Census Bureau in Columbus, Ohio, demonstrated that women are paid 81 cents for every dollar paid to men. This amounts to a yearly gap of some $9,261 between men and women who work full time."

She became a Licensed Practical Nurse, a profession she held for 34 years, and spent most of her career with the Century Oak Care Center in Berea, Ohio—a center that opened in 1987 as a response to an increased demand in quality nursing home facilities."

"Broken promise number six, Senator Barack Obama, February 2008—again, Candidate Obama—said in Columbus, Ohio: “If you’ve got health insurance, we’re going to work with you to lower your premiums by $2,500 per family per year.” I think this is perhaps the cruelest promise of all."
