I have been an IHSS worker since December of 2009. I currently have one client.  I was browsing a website that posts domestic jobs and responded to an ad by a lady that really needs an IHSS worker.  When I heard that the Governor was going to cut the IHSS workers pay rate, that appalled me.  People like this woman that I went to see yesterday about another caregiving position, make me wonder — who is running our state?  Why would you balance the State’s budget on the backs of the poor?  This program was created to help the underdog who really needs help with day to day needs that they (the recipient of the IHSS worker) cannot do themselves.  The state would be just shooting themselves in the foot.
