Seniors get socked from all sides
Apparently President Obama and his fellow Democrats don't care much for senior citizens. Their will be no cost of living increase in social security for the next two years, despite the fact that utilities (one of the largest expenses that seniors face) are rising due to additional taxes imposed by local governments. On top of that, the Democrats are cutting Medicare by $500 billion so they can justify the expense of a government-controlled health care system. To make matters worse, interest rates on savings accounts are low so that the incomes of seniors are decreasing even further.
This is NOT "Change we can believe in."
