To any Republican senior...

...there are many reasons for inflation and your thinning wallet, the pandemic, Ukraine, Putin, supply chain issues and problems, wall street, oil companies, corporate greed and corruption, etc.

...you might not like us Dems but at least we want to see you to continue to receive your Social Security check and Medicare..and that's more than I can say for your Republican leadership...

...if your money's getting thin and your bills are increasing you may want to consider voting Dem or at least stay home and not fuck things up worse with a Republican vote...the Republican Party's solution to inflation has always been tax cuts for the rich and massive unemployment for everyone else, remember Ray-gun and Volcker?

...8.7% COLA increase might not be the greatest but at least it beats what your Party is willing to give you...

...just a thought...

They will sell their cuts to the seniors as preservation of SS & Medicare for the future and it won’t effect current recipients.. at least that was the lie the last time they pulled this crap.

I fear that the seniors will continue to vote as they do, due to the scary images of people not like them coming to rape and pillage their neighborhoods. It’s been a winning combination for several decades now….

I hope I’m wrong, I live in AZ and I have seen the state slowly turning blue over the past 22 years, I hope that trend continues.

...arguably The Villages of Arizona. I haven't seen a single democratic party campaign sign anywhere, just bunches of republican candidates. I think the dems just don't waste their campaign cash here. This is the only place I've ever seen "Trump won" yard signs. Sheesh. How embarrassing!
