The seniors who are NOT able to pick up a part time job are the people I really feel for right now, inflation is out of control REALLY OUT OF CONTROL!! These folks have worked hard their entire lives and these bastards have increased the cost of living so much it is impossible for them to make it without giving up whatever enjoyable activities they may have!! I HATE THE BASTARDS IN DC!!
I’m useless and hubby is old and crippled with CHF.
$200 would mean we could afford some cheap hamburger at least.
It was $50 last night for 5 pounds of hamburger and 3 pounds of chicken that will have to last until next payday.
That is an obscenity.
The border jumpers I see in the grocery stores are buying cartfuls of king crab legs, junk food and steaks.
“..I HATE THE BASTARDS IN DC!!...”
All I can tell ya, Kit, is take a number and get in line.....you’re definitely NOT alone.
Most seniors have pensions and paid off homes……I personally don’t know any who just depend on SS.

They hate you too, especially the democrats/socialists/communists and RINOS.
That is how they will keep their “promise” to retirees. Social Security will still be there, but a loaf of bread will cost $200 due to inflation.
As for the idea of everyone planning their own retirement, that’s great except that companies like to lay people off in their fifties. At that point, it is difficult to find another job. Hardly anyone is prepared to stop working at 55 and live off what they made and saved up to that point.
