you know who really gets screwed? retired folks on a fixed budget

Fixed income is a funny term. Most people are on fixed income unless they work by commission.

Nope.

Most people can pick up a few hours more if they want to. Five hours of OT can give a nice bump to the budget.

Not necessarily. When I worked, I could always work overtime. I could cash in some leave. Now, I'm on a real fixed income. My only option is to go back to work. Something I'm loathe to do. Fortunately, I prepared for my retirement, so I'll be one of the last ones to have to make drastic changes to my lifestyle.
