Me: " ...There are retirees living on a fixed income..."

You: And why and who is responsible for this? If you are not working, or don't have your money out on the street taking risks, why should your income be anything but fixed

RETIREES.

[Leisler]

They weren't retirees when they were getting an acceptable profit on their money, funds, stocks and other instruments. They took it as fast as it came in and at rate as high as they could get. Then they were wizened older capitalist, getting what they deserved.

Now that there isn't as much call for borrowing money, and the returns are low, they are boo-hooing, and doing the poor old me retiree shuffle.

Can’t have it both ways. Either you are independent and active or else your dependent and should take what ever you get from who ever you depend upon.
