Seniors penalized

We never read about the reality of the retired workers nightmare during the administration of President Barack Obama.

Many of them worked to save for their children’s education, and sometimes their grandchildren’s, too. The savings in certificates of deposit isn’t giving them enough income because of the artificially low interest.

To make life more difficult, there hasn’t been an increase in the Social Security monthly checks for three different years.

These are people who worked all their lives, saving for their future, and now they are being penalized because the government doesn’t care.
