You are so full of shit that diarrhea is spewing out of your ears.

1) MOST of the federal budget is already spent on seniors vis a vis social security and medicare, so the idea that congress is spending trillions on this and that and nothing for seniors is flat out stupidity.

2) Seniors don't have to choose between food and medicine. Perhaps you missed it but 6 years ago Medicare part D was created, it covers prescription drugs for seniors.

3) Increases in social security are automatically calculated by a formula that was made law a long time ago. This year's congress or last year's congress has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not social security checks will go up next year.

4) Is it painful being so stupid? Or is ignorance truly bliss?
