Fixed income

Most elderly people live on a fixed income. They are the ones hurt most by inflation. At age 94, I’m in that group.

The Treasury Department has announced its goal is to keep inflation at or above 2 percent per year. At this rate, it won’t be long until I’m on food stamps. Inflation is a way of stealing. Our politicians don’t recognize this?
