“Everyone shares the pain — including seniors.”
That kind of statement is absolute B/S.
A good many seniors are already living on the edge. Many can’t return to any workforce. Most are on fixed incomes. They haven’t received any COLA for a few years now. This price of everything has gone up, food, meds, just seeing a doctor.
Hell, why don’t we just kill the old bastards and be done with it.
Save up your money and buy a friggin brain.
Amen, brother.
I hate to see the hostility here for seniors by a few people.
Things were a lot different during working years for seniors.
My children, for example, learned early on in their working lives to invest in IRA’s and try to provide for their own retirement.
We’d never heard of IRA’s. The best we could do was live frugally and try to get our houses paid off.
We were taught that we would have social security and we need it.
Fifty million Americans living on SSI off of 110 million Americans working in private industry. It’s that simple.
