In 1989 my friend mother's pensions had been 105 leva. So, calculate for yourselves how much dollars that 75 year old woman receives per month. The Infant death rate has increased. The Birth death rate has increased. The Death rate generally has increased.

Free medical care, FREE education, social help and privileges for the mothers and the elderly. Nobody needs them, nobody wants them at work, nobody offers work to them.
