Some deserve our wrath but it’s tough for a lot of them out there! From USA:

  The U.S. Census Bureau's latest data, released today, show that the poverty rate continues to rise among older adults, reaching 15%.

  This rise in economic challenges comes as recent cuts to benefits programs, like SNAP and Medicaid, will inevitably leave more older adults without funds to afford basic costs of living, including medications, health care visits, and food.

boohoo, a whole 15 percent. Maybe they should've thought about that before collectively voting for the worst possible people
