That seems pretty insensitive.

Not everyone was able to amass a fortune in savings before they retired. Not everyone is even able to quit working when they come down here. Seniors on a fixed income - usually spend according to their means.

But when the cost of those means goes up..

They can no longer afford those things. In some cases, it's health care. In some cases, it's food. And in some cases, it's mortgage.
