So, you have a solution to how seniors with no family will make it if their SS is cut below subsistence levels? Great! Let’s hear it.
Move in together and pool their resources. The constitution did not guarantee every elderly person their own home, car, cable tv, telephone, electricity, internet, water, and sewage. Why should the government tax people, take their cut, and provide these things to somebody else?
I had roommates in college and after college and it worked just fine. How much room does a person really need? Why do you assume this won’t work for elderly folks?
A life lived that is so empty that a person could not find a friend or other soul in a similar situation to move in with and split the bills is a sad statement about the misplaced priorities of our culture.
We did that. Our resources are my labor and Mom's money.

Elderly folks don't need much room. But, unlike college students, they can't get around very well if at all.

My mother had friends but they are dead. I guess their priorities were shameful.
