At a card table there, CNN met with a group of seniors, all on fixed incomes, who spoke about feeling the squeeze from steep price hikes over the past year. Katherine Janes, 81, said she had to turn to her son for financial help. “It makes things a little easier,” Janes said. “Everything is expensive.” Ron Longhurst cut back on evening socializing, which has been difficult as a single 79-year-old. “Day-to-day, I stay home more,” he said.
” They already have some boxes packed, expecting another rent hike when their lease ends early next year. Johnson, a retired university counselor, and her husband, a retired engineer and teacher, moved to Florida from Michigan three years ago, bringing along her sister and nephew to live with them. The family would like to buy a home, but the draining price hikes and red-hot housing market are making that more difficult. Johnson says they may have to downsize as a result.
Not inflation ist a recession
BuT Muh DeMoCraCy
New cnn !! A real story about something that’s matters I like it
Florida…….. The family would like to buy a home, but the draining price hikes and red-hot housing market are making that more difficult. “We are middle income, but with less to work with than when we worked full time,” Johnson said. CharlieCrist GovRonDeSantis 😡😡😡
Billionaire-owned CNN: 'Look out, seniors - those immigrants want your sandwich. Now watch this big pharma commercial and ask your doctor if Damitol is right for you.'
WASN'T LIKE THIS BEFORE BIDEN; and Seniors are going to remember this come 2024!!
AND GOD BLESS YOU!!!
Seniors care about food prices, drug costs, crime, and affordable housing. Not sex/gender/trans drama or the Jan 6 spectacle.
This senior independent is voting red.
Wait and see if Republicans become the majority how they will gut Social Security & Medicare.
These Seniors will have it even worse if they vote for republicans who have NO Economic plan except to TAKE the seniors social security & Medicare. THIS after giving the 1% a $2 trillion tax break. They think it’s tough now? Just wait til the GOP STEALS your Soc Sec & Medicare.
If we just give the politicians more time, they will surely fix the problems they caused in order to pander for votes. It's what they have always done.
So is finally accepting that Biden inflation and woke Democrats agenda is killing the economy
It is a world wide issue
Yep, you can see the shift in ownership and its influence. Not even subtle.
Here's a story you could cover
I’m buying generic everything.
That’s a Biden win!
They better vote blue or the republicans will take all their retirement money.
This is why I hope I don’t make it past 60. I have no kids to care for me, and I’m not going to end up in some place with some angry person wiping my ass.
You know what's crazy I didn't think I was in thus category but I'll be 55 this December does that make me a senior strikin by the economic downturn or am I just poverty-stricken middle aged women?
Hit hard by Biden, dear journalists. Those in power are responsible for this chaos. Add the lockdowns end all social distancing lovers to that. They did it on purpose.
Maybe the folks who put us twenty trillion in debt should have saved better.
Like it or not this comes down to facility budget and not insurance. Always ask questions about sustenance and ADLs for folks residing in facilities
They were eating steak 2 years ago 🤷♂️
Well, seniors, pay attention & vote Democrat. The Repubs have already said they want to rescind $2000 Rx annual cap & $35 insulin copay. Oh, and they want to sunset Social Security/Medicare. AND make cutbacks to SS/Medicare in order to raise debt ceiling. Yeah, they don’t care!
