How long has it been since the seniors had a raise? A very long time the former minister said. Only over age 75 got 10%. The minister said the younger ones could still work. That former minister who gave it was moved to help the war defense workers soon after. There are less of them we know. Probably because we are so many they don’t want to put out the money. But like the railroad and other executives they don’t mind to spend it. They give themselves enough for several of us.

Too long. We had a 2.8% raise between last year and this. That would amount to $42 if your pensions added up top $18,000.00 We need to give the Politicians the “Tin Cup Challenge” Live on what you provide for seniors and see what it feels like.
