Government is selling out seniors

It's obvious that this administration and congress could care less about senior citizens. They won't give us a cost of living increase on our Social Security for the next two years, but congress gave themselves raises of an average of $5,000 per year.

The health care package they are trying to push through will have cuts in Medicare, but the cost of our Medicare insurance will go up every year. We all need better insurance coverage, but we don't need a government run insurance company to add to our deficit - everyone knows the government can't run anything efficiently. It's time to vote out every incumbent politician and get leaders that do what the people want, not leaders that only look out for their own pockets.
