Seniors Are Getting Crushed by Biden's Inflation, and Nobody's Talking About It:
President Joe Biden’s crushing, record-high inflation continues to put everyday Americans in a tough spot, financially. With winter approaching and shortages of diesel and other critical fuels on Biden’s watch, millions of Americans will undoubtedly have a rough and scary winter ahead. People will die.
However, what’s not being talked about nearly enough is the most vulnerable group among us — senior citizens. Millions of seniors live on strict monthly budgets, and one can only imagine how difficult it must be to afford the necessities — simple things like food and utilities — on Biden’s watch.
It’s getting so bad in Biden’s America that many seniors are being forced to consider roommate and home-sharing situations to keep from ultimately going under and losing everything.
Rodney Harrell, AARP’s vice president for Family, Home, and Community, told The Hill that U.S. seniors have several pressing concerns, especially as they determine how to keep their homes and live off their dwindling 401Ks while Democrats continue to wreck the U.S. economy. --->READ MORE HERE

Survey: Nearly 1 in 5 Americans Skipped Meals, Didn’t Buy Groceries Due to High Inflation
Nearly one in five Americans have skipped meals or did not buy groceries due to surging inflation, including 28 percent of Gen Z and 23 percent of millennials, according to a recent survey.
Seventeen percent of respondents said they were receiving food items from a food bank, including 22 percent of millennials, while 17 said they have stopped buying healthier food options. Eighteen percent said they had skipped meals or did not buy groceries.
Beyond facing food insecurity, the same survey also found that high inflation is forcing Americans to delay certain healthcare expenses. Fourteen percent of Americans have canceled or postponed plans to see a healthcare specialist, ten percent have delayed taking prescribed medication, and 11 percent stalled receiving a yearly physical.
“As the price of health care and basic necessities continue to reach record highs, Americans have been forced to make tough decisions that sacrifice their health and wellbeing,” said Kristi Rodriguez, senior vice president of the Nationwide Retirement Institute, which commissioned the survey.
“While these decisions are understandable and challenging, making short-term tradeoffs may have long-term impacts,” Rodriguez continued. --->READ MORE HERE
