President Obama wants to give senior citizens another $250 next year, in part to make up for what looks like no increase in the Social Security COLA.
Of course, a decrease in prices will benefit seniors far more than this bonus payment, and seniors remain, by far, the wealthiest age group in American society. But seniors also vote far more than any other group, and so far they’ve not been enamored by the President’s hope and change platform.
Gorilla asks: “When are we going to stop subsidizing bankers, farmers, and wealthy seniors and start bribing genuinely poor people? They need the reward a lot more!!!”
