For a lot of seniors, once the money runs out, their only "savior", and only if they have a home, is to take a reverse mortgage. After that, it's poverty. I'm real curious as to how many people have applied for a reverse mortgage over the past 10 years. Let me tell you, seniors are hurting big time. And we should never have to inquire as to a reverse mortgage. We all worked our asses off to build that equity over the years.

On top of this, they want to freeze social Security? OMG!!! What the hell are they thinking? And corporate(corrupt) media is reporting that it's OK, because gas is cheaper now? Are you kidding me? Again, let's destroy the people that need it the most. Unbelievable!!!!

It's time for a democratic socialist in the White House. I AM READY!!!!!
