If seniors find it difficult to do the paperwork for stamps, a better plan is to assign regional or area people to help them file. It could be within so many programs for the elderly already in place.
I have no problem with making sure seniors have enough food and shelter, since our society has pretty much abandoned the principle of caring for their elderly.
It's the younger, work shirkers, I have a problem with.
While it's true many have not saved adequately for their retirement years, caring for our parents and grandparents is just simply, called responsibility.
In other words, there but for the grace of God.....
Precisely because people have ceded that responsibility to the government. That's how it is in Europe, and that's why thousands of elderly die in heat waves in France.
