    Nursing Homes  Nursing homes have changed over the years. They used to be short term where people went to die. Now they are often short term for therapy and then residents return to their homes, though some may live there for up to ten years or more. Far fewer die in nursing homes these days.…

     L-Liberals continue to yell about how Social Security is running out of money and they will need to cut benefits or raise Social Security taxes that workers pay. There would have been plenty of money for the future if liberals had not raided the Social Security fund to fund their social welfare programs. Seniors should…

    The administration has also cut Medicare reimbursements resulting in doctors being increasingly reluctant to treat Seniors.

    President Biden’s administration has been hard on Seniors. President Biden’s massive spending has fueled increasing inflation like we have not seen for a long time. Seniors are hurt by it since they are on a fixed income. While they give Seniors a cost of living increase, it is only after the fact and does not…

    Democrats say they want to help preserve the Social Security fund for Seniors but they seem to have other priorities. They have added a lot of illegal immigrants to Social Security even though they haven’t paid into it. That further endangers the fund.

    Now that we face the problem, we have to decide what to do about it. The Democrats feel we should tax the rich. That sounds good, they have lots of money. Income is taxed for Social Security at a certain percentage based on income  and there is currently a ceiling where income is no longer…

    The biggest change was that Democrats saw the growing fund as a source of funds to develop new programs. The fund was growing rapidly because a lot of workers were paying in and very few were drawing on it, and  they only drew on it a short time. Democrats felt that the surplus funds could…
