On Nov. 8, we should elect candidates dedicated to addressing the challenges dealing with folks aged 50-plus.
With inflation and the financial affect of the pandemic placing much more pressure on Social Safety, it has by no means been extra necessary to verify seniors can afford to pay for necessities like housing, meals and well being care. It’s time for a sturdy public debate about securing the way forward for this system.
Social Safety is the one inflation-protected, assured revenue supply most People can rely on in retirement. Our elected officers should shield and strengthen the advantages we’ve paid into and earned by way of years of laborious work.
