These seniors, majority, have no one. No family. Friends try to help but on limited income and themselves old and in bad health. Seniors have paid in trillions of dollars for federal government to keep power and politicians live high on the hog as royalty off tax dollars. So why not return some of those trillions to seniors for food, shelter and medical when we are old. If we were all rich and get mega tax breaks we too could be independent. Palin was right about death panels. But stupidly wrong on which party was pushing for them. What a shock! May as well give up and die. America isnt worth living in now. At least dead we elderly wont see the final destruction of a nation we helped to build on minium wage and no benefits. Only top tier politicians pensions, healtthcare and futures are safe. Elderly, poor and sick are expendable. But...we will see!
