This election could make the difference between life and death for seniors

- This election coming up in November may have the most impact on the health and well.being of seniors and baby boomers of any election in modern history. It could directly impact how much money seniors receive for social security and when. It could also derermine who can and.can't qualify for health care prior to age 65, and what care you receive after age 65. At the local level issues that impact nomads and folks in rvs, vans and campers boondocking and camping could be affected. How about whether or not you can place a tiny house on your property or afford to stay in your home due to increasing house taxes or insurance based on who is elected as County assessor or Insurance Commissioner?
So much attention is being given to the race for President and so much rhetoric is being flung out there that many of the issues that could have a devastating impact on our day to day lives and the people who decide these issues are being overlooked.
In this video I share some of those issues and who some of the people are who will make decisions impacting seniors. I encourage each and everyone of you to do your research on the various candidates from the President all the way to your local officials and their positions on critical issues that could impact not only your financial well being but quite possibly your life if you cannot get the medical care you need.

@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 sorry. Not campaigning. Just curious about how that worked.
You have a gift of informing us in a matter-of-fact, yet loving way. Thank you for speaking on this, Carol.
Thank you for your kind comment😊
You’re welcome!☺️
Agree🥰
Just voted in my local primary for the first time ever. Voting for less greed (taxes) and more transparency in govt.
You're absolutely right. Being informed is being smart.
And remember… you cannot make INFORMED decisions by listening to biased media (regardless of party affiliation). Do your OWN homework folks. Don’t listen to talking heads who may or may not have hidden agendas.
Yes! Policy is the only thing we should care about. A politician's personality won't change our lives, but the policies they vote on sure do. ❤
That is a great way to put it!
@@WaywardAbode Yes, ma’am! Well said, friend!💖
Do you know that if you have an “Advantage Plan” you have forfeited original Medicare and have private insurance
Unfortunately, I've been able to convince 0 people of this fact 🙄. I'm worried our country is lost not because of the politicians, but because of voters.
@@WaywardAbode absolutely! That’s the basis for my decision on who to vote for November 5!
Listening to what a politician says is fine, however, you also have to look at what these politician's have actually done, or not done, while in office. Talk is cheap.
Talk is indeed cheap.
I’m team kindness and joy. I want to work with folks, not against them. Also I need my Social Security that I paid into since my first job at 16.
Thanks for sharing today. I just read this book INVADED by JJ Carrell. I saw his interview on IRONCLAD last week. It's a great read and very true, because JJ Carrell was at the border for many years. America has changed forever for everyone..... stay safe everyone
EXCELLENT and thanks for sharing
Thank you thank thank you!! I’m watching this again and this time MAKING NOTES!! Don’t go anywhere, we need your gift of explaining complicated issues!!🙏
I do.my best to break things down to the best of.my ability so seniors and others can understand what is at stake on so many different levels this election. With rents going up so much and health care and medicine becoming so costly it is critical that senior vote for those who will.advocate.for us.
Paul Laxalt was a moderate Republican. He said that every day Congress meets, Americans have less and less freedom.
That is pretty darned scary!!
Local elections are very important! I so agree with you! My local paper lets us know what our local representatives vote, yes or no on a given policy. I find it very valuable in knowing who is representing me the way I want them too!
@@carolwarren2020 What a great service your paper is providing!! Often times it is the local laws that can impact.our day to day existence the most.
Suddenly Kamala has reduced petrol/Gas by 20 cents a gallon in time for the Debate. How convenient it should never have escalated to such a high price in the first place.
I don't think Kamala Harris has the power to do that. At least not presently.
Urgent emergency please join me in prayer for all those affected families children animals massive suffering hurting all around the world having all medical problems having difficult situations paying rent bills evictions homeless hungry prayer for the lost to get saved facing all difficult situations fighting to survive keep the faith God will show you the way in the end we will be victorious with the Lord praise God praying for everyone Everyday God bless you all

"Hands that help are better far than lips that pray." Why must you beg god to do the right thing?
We all due respect, what the federal government needs to do, is to stop the large amount of fraud.
Our government is practically unrecognizable anymore. We are no longer the republic we used to be.
Exactly. And that includes a lot of "helpful" programs. It's easy to vote for the one who promises you the most stuff.
Thank you for speaking on this very important topic. We must all vote for our own good, for the people who are actually working for the American people. We need more benefits, not less. We need decent housing, not large corporations buying up property and taxing older people out of the homes they have worked so hard to keep.
It is terrible what is happening across the country with seniors in homes they sacrificed for and paid off only to be priced.out due to crazy insurance costs and taxes.
I think if you paid taxes until you are 65 the you shouldn't have to pay taxes ever again. You paid your dues
@@sandyallen1523 I agree!!
Who is going to pay for all those benefits? Probably not all the illegals that are pouring in during Bidens reign.
@sandyallen1523 Yes. President Trump says Social Security should not be taxed.
I do not live in the US; BUT we do have similar bureaucracies. I require a wheelchair; I regularly show up in civic, provincial and federal sponsored hearings. I used to be a journalist as well. The common question I get is what business of it is yours to remain knowledgeable. I never confront; I do ask questions. Trying to evict a person with a wheelchair when all I am doing is making notes. The press loves that! Thankyou for sharing.
KUDOS to you !!!!! I'm impressed. Thanks for overseeing what most definitely needs to be overseen.
@@TLA123y6f Thankyou
@@kollinteam1598 That clearly demonstrate that those you are questioning have something to hide!!
Holy cow! I cannot imagine having my rent increased 500%! That is just greed. Pure and simple. Landlords will push it to the limit and, eventually, price EVERYONE out of the market.
There needs to be reasonable limits on rent increases based on cost of living, inflation and other factors, including perhaps major capitol improvements a landlord made to a property. I would include consideration for increases in insurance and propertyntaxes. I am all for landlords making a reasonable return on their investment but there does need to be a balance between that and what constitutes reasonable rent increases.
Some investment companies have bought housing and causing the hikes
@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 I own a rental. I do NOT raise the rent on my tenants unless I absolutely have to due to my ins, prop, maintainance, etc going up. I understand profit. Greed is another thing entirely. And don't EVEN get me started on the pharmaceutical companies. INSATIABLE greed at the cost of human lives. I don't know how they sleep at night.
@@anna.banana.075 The corporations are also buying up the mobile home parks. And jacking up the rents double/triple the cost due to "improvements". Mobile home parks were the last point of refuge for so many impoverished people. Where do you go from a mobile home park? To your car or a tent? Or the streets? It's shocking to me that living in ones car is also becoming "normalized" too. NOTHING is normal anymore.
@@TLA123y6fI worked in the mobile home industry during the housing crisis of 2008/2009, & that’s the time that corporations started swooping in. John Oliver did an hour on this a couple years ago (could have gone on for 12 hours), it’s something that everyone needs to see, especially if they’re considering a mobile home.
Thanks for the update. The Supreme Court recently further criminalized the homeless and what they consider public camping. Best wishes to you.💕💜🌈🕊️
Yes. That wretched Grant's Pass case out of Oregon. That originated at the local city level. It makes a difference who we vote for at the city council and mayor levels in our cites as evidenced by this case!!

Absolutely!
Thank you for this important PSA! ❤
Hello, I just discovered your channel and I do not know your political affiliation/beliefs BUT I appreciate you encouraging your viewers in a professional, calm, intelligent manner to educate themselves on the candidates. How refreshing. It so very unfortunate that there aren’t more dialogues like yours. I can hardly watch the news and I struggle to find the truth in the mainstream media. Thank you.
Thanks Carol for the info. Very well done 👍
The more programs, the more administration, the more costs, the more in debt we become, the more expensive everything gets. More spending will not help!
Thanks for keeping it real and to the issues baby boomers have huge vote and more and more will become homeless ❤️✌🏼🙏🏻🇺🇸
Thank you for this video. So important. I also hope we start taking care of our nation’s people before taking care of the rest of the world. 🙏❤️
amen!
Good thing we have a candidate who is America first instead of giving all of our money to Ukraine and others and leaving Americans in poverty.
@@my2centstooAre you not aware that over 80% of the budget goes to military, & has been since Reagan? If we could take just 5% of that, there’d be more than enough to go around. However, as it stands now, the aid benefits the US because the artillery is being made here.
@@sunshine3914 Yeah. We ALWAYS have $$ for war. Nobody was screaming about the defecit when we were supporting an ongoing war for 20 years - that we were lied into. Ever read Eisenhower's Military Industrial Complex? You might want to try educating yourself.
@@sunshine3914 My apologies if my response sounded like it was directed towards you. It was directed towards other schools of thought out there. I am on the same page as you.
This was very helpful.
Funny how they bail out the big corporations retirement funds.
Isn't that something and bailing out banks too!
They are also giving billions to Ukraine with a lot of that money going into retirement accounts of Ukrainians. Americans taxpayers dollars are going into another country's retirement funds. People really need to investigate what's going on. They keep saying and doing things to distract us and keep our focus on anything except what's really happening. Wake up everyone.
Policies matter. But so does character and how one has led their lives and what they deem is important. As a citizen it is our duty to be informed about the basics of how government works and the games that politicians play to get your vote.
Extremely well stated Gloria. Thanks.
So many people think my name is Gloria but it is actually Carol . But at this point I answere to either🤣🤣🤣
Clutching my pearls, hugging my cat and praying. 🙏
For me, if I vote one way I will suffer with some things, and if I vote the other way I will suffer with some other things. Can’t we have a candidate that serves all people instead of a few or just serving themselves (the politicians)???? Apparently not is seems….
Isn't that insane. Having to choose which poison you can tolerate best!
Very well presented. I learned some very important information. Thank you for the information.
You are surely welcome.

Thank you for giving us this information, greatly appreciated!!
Thank you, thank you soooooo much really appreciated you. This was well needed. God bless you
Vance just said don't touch social security. We can get money by not spending billions on illegal immigrants & foreign wars.
Ask what Party gave us Social Security in the 1930's? What Party gave us Medicare and Medicaid in the 1960's ? The President needs a House and Senate Majority to pass legislation to protect our Social Security, Disability Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Taxing the wealthy their "fair share" will provide funding to maintain these programs. (I personally believe all citizens should have the same health care that Congress awards itself as a lifetime benefit for serving in Congress)
Congress does not award itself healthcare as a lifetime benefit. Congress pays a portion of their own healthcare while they serve and then have the option to pay for their healthcare through the same system when they retire...just like the healthcare that I currently have and pay for after retiring from the private sector. What exactly is a 'fair share' to tax someone that took the risks, worked hard and became wealthier and planned better than someone that didn't earn as much or plan their financial needs? I don't understand why anyone would think it's ok to punish someone that was mindful with their money should be taxed more to pay for someones benefits that were not mindful of their life and money.
Thank you for your research & thoughtful commentary.
Three points I'd like to make: We have to carefully research the positions of the candidates ourselves. The candidates purposely misstate their opponent's position in very emotional & inflammatory ways.
Second: There are many discussions about enacting price controls on food or rents. Again, research for yourself what the impact of price controls are. Don't take a candidate's statements at face value.
Third: A candidate's position on how to curb inflation is very important. When inflation increased, the value of a fixed social security payment decreased. Vice versa, if inflation decreases, the purchasing value of your social security improves. I think this is more critical that social security policy because inflation has an immediate impact on our daily finances.
Thank you!
I agree controlling inflation is critical. As far as rent control I think.there should be reasonable guidelines. Overly stringent rules will kill investments and severely impact property values. Any controls put in place.need to balance the interests of landlords and renters.
My friend's 21 yr old daughter was un-alived in 2015 by an unvetted migrant from the caribbean, who was allowed to come into Connecticut for the 7th time to a "sanctuary" city. Sad. Not the only instance.😢😢😢 are seniors safe??
Thak is horrible. So many of these sanctuary cities are facing such financial burdens because of their status that they are now seeking court relirf!
@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621financial burdens are only the tip of the iceberg in what follows.
@@RoxanneSumner-lg7gu💯%
"un-alived" ???? Oh, you mean killed. Ok.
That is horrific, yet all the school shootings that have killed and still killing our kids have been carried out by American citizens, not illegal immigrants. Same for most violent crimes in our country. Sad but true.
We need to vote so that the most vulnerable are represented!!! These are the people that need to be considered and protected !!! And the aged also cannot be left behind!! Big Billionaires already have too much of the pie!!
Capitalism on steroids
Who appointed SCOTUS Justices who have now criminalized homelessness ?
We have to be willing to take repair for our retirement..If we don’t these problems will come..
Hi Carol
Hope you are having a good day today. Thank you for your video
🥰🥰🥰
Thank you! I feel our government does not want to be open
about what they are planning for the citizens of our great country.
In fact, some states day for the landlords and other states are full of for the tenants like I'll get an example in certain states. The gear time to move out if you're affected in other places. They're gonna fix you within 10 days and throw you on the streets. No matter if you can find a place or not, they're gonna say it's not their problem. That's how cruel sentence cities and towns can be so Gloria is right about that. It depends on where you live and what part of America you live as America itself is. It, it's different countries in its own way if you understand what I mean by that.
Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for this information. 🎉❤
Last week I received my autographed copy of Doomsday reef from Matt Bracken in Florida. It is a new book $$$$and a great read too. I got it by snail mail. Boom and boom

"Who" wants to put tariffs on foreign made consumer imported products that we the consumer will pay for when we purchase foreign made products or imported food. It's not the country shipping the goods to the US. It's us citizens who will pay the higher tax (tariff) at Walmart and the grocery stores, etc...
Massive government spending causes inflation combined with minimal cost of living increases means Social Security buys less.
Great information....Learn something everyday.
That visor is nice .it becomes you.

The policies of one party or the other maybe a risk to the inheritance we have accumulated for our children. Vote carefully.

The best way to overcome fear is to be informed so we can make sound choices.

All good advice
It's funny. How they wanna cut back on all this stuff. But they don't wanna cut back on the younger people paying for it regardless of how much they wanna cut back so they'll do all that money with so come in, but they'll give less back. That's what's going on here. Basically, that's what you're trying to say. Am I right Gloria?
There is no division of Medicare by congress. Congress votes on a budget for all of Medicare and social security then after congress passes the legislation the fed marks up the appropriate accounts instantly without raising taxes. The military another federal program is funded the same way.
The most important election is not made by man. Man will let you down everytime.That's the election we all especially seniors / our elders should focus on. Not for ourselves but for our childrens children....God Bless❤
What Project 2025 says about Medicaid
Medicaid is a free or low-cost national public health insurance program designed to provide coverage to eligible low-income adults, pregnant women, children, older adults and people with disabilities. As of March 2024, more than 82 million Americans were enrolled in Medicaid.
Project 2025 calls for Medicaid’s federal funding to be converted from its current model - the federal government paying a fixed percentage of states’ Medicare costs - to a model in which the federal government pays a block grant (or fixed amount) to each state, regardless of their specific costs.
Block grants have been floated several times over the years. Such proposals are typically “designed to fail to keep pace with expected enrollment and/or health care cost growth in order to deeply cut federal Medicaid spending over time, relative to current law,” according to a report on Project 2025 from Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy.
In 2017, a Medicaid block grant plan proposed by Republicans would have slashed Medicaid’s federal funding by more than 25% over 10 years and 30% over 20 years, according to a Congressional Budget Office projection.
For those receiving Medicaid benefits, Project 2025 also proposes coverage with “time limits” or “lifetime caps” to “disincentivize permanent dependence” on those benefits. And while the proposal is vague on details, it suggests that the incoming administration eliminate Medicaid protections and reform mandatory versus optional Medicaid benefits. Some of the benefits that Medicaid is currently required to cover are X-ray services, rural health clinic visits, nursing home care and early prevention and diagnostic screenings.
Project 2025 also proposes adding a work requirement, “similar to what is required in other welfare programs,” as well as raising premiums for higher-income beneficiaries. Eligibility should be redesigned, too, the plan reads, “to serve the most vulnerable and truly needy and eliminate middle-income to upper-income Medicaid recipients."
One recent attempt to impose a Medicaid work requirement led to thousands of beneficiaries losing coverage. Arkansas added a Medicaid work requirement in 2018 and removed it in 2019. During the nine-month period the requirement was active, roughly 18,000 enrollees lost coverage, according to The Commonwealth Fund, a health care policy think tank.
The Center for American Progress, a progressive think tank, said lifetime caps on Medicaid benefits could cause “devastating coverage losses.” Specifically, the approximately 18.5 million beneficiaries who qualify for Medicaid based on income alone - around 20% of those receiving Medicaid - would be particularly at risk of losing their coverage.
Thank you for the info. I think it would benefit everyone to actually read the Project 25 recommendations for themselves. Especially those who are lower income.
And in turn that money comes from we. The people the younger generation because that money has to come from somewhere without the people, there's no money.
Fast forward a few years - AI/robots don't pay taxes. And what do you think the domino affect would be with that? Nothing like living in some dystopian Twilight Zone and keeping one's mental health stable.

You gotta also remember. Unlike other countries, America does not in general take care of their own people. They're quick to spend billions of dollars to Ukraine. Israel or any other country to help those people but very reluctant to help American people who worked hard in America. That's just had part about it. American general does not take care of their own like Europe does.
There's a REASON Finland is considered the happiest country on earth
I also would recommend that whoever you live. Or state or in Texas, or you know the laws of that state? It's very important. You guys know that because like Gloria says I agree with her. Some states are friendly to retirees and even people live. Alternatively and other states are cruel to them. It depends again. I guess it depends on what part of America you live. Some parts are great. Some part are evil. Some parts are not friendly. Some parts are racist. Some part of this some parts is that it depends on where you go. America is a very big country.

Georgia opted out of Medicaid Expansion
Bad news for low.income folk. Also, I didn't include it in my video but a number of states also opted out of the summer Food program that would have provided food to families with kids during the summer. For many kids their main source of food is the school lunche and breakfast meals that are not available during the summer. The Feds were going to pay the program cost. The states only had to pay the administration costs. This is shameful!

The replublican party tends to favour tax cuts for the rich. They also tend to believe in people picking themselves up and not being dependent on the government for hand outs. If I was American I would definitely vote blue if you're on the poor side. Glad I live in a country where society looks after the old, poor and disabled.
Sadly is seems like once most politicians are elected they do what is in their best interest to get reelected rather than what is best for the people they represent.

For the poor illegals.
well whoever is running it right now, and for many years now, has failed us. I work in healthcare and so many people have exams that are 'not authorized' and they have to wait or not get the exam at all. Before the ACA, I never saw as many people unable to get tests done because of insurance and medicare/medicaid 'denials'.
Before ACA, our little town had no less than 3 benefits every weekend for medical needs.
We need to look at a socialist system. Capitalism is failing us. If you doubt me just look at the increasing homeless population. Buying or renting a home or apartment is impossible to a large portion of the population. A socialist economic system rather than a capitalist system would solve homelessness, social security, healthcare, and any number of challenges we're facing. Especially as we get older.
People hear the word "socialism" and it freaks them out. They associate it with Stalin, whatever. The Norwegian countries have 'socialized democracy" a form of "socialism". Their quality of life is far greater than ours. They essentially don't have violence ( violence in this country is insane). There's no homelessness and extreme poverty. the list goes on. There's a REASON why Finland is considered the happiest country on earth.

We actually have one choice, do you want a democratic republic or Marxism. That choice will affect every issue of which you speak. Medicaid is State.
WRONG. Please don't pass on that inaccurate information. Medicaid is a joint Federal and state progtam for individuals with low incomes and resources, disabilities and other conditions. The Federal government sets the general rules, but the states establish eligibility guidelines. Thus states can participate or refuse to participate in Medicaid Expansion as the Feds set thr eligibility guidelines on that program which is stricltly based on income only. Medi-Cal is a state program in California. Look it up.
@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 Let me just say I've been on Medicaid for a few months and it's operated through the state.

First we need to pray & ask for wisdom. Yes as seniors & disabled seniors social security and Medicare matters to us. In my 70s am blessed to still be here. I care about my children, grandchildren & their future as well as our nation. We need to know what our elected officials opinions are but also their record. What have they been doing & how have they been voting? Are their actions lining up with their talk? Are they putting Americans first? Are they spending money overseas & supporting wars? Not to be deceived by what they say they're going to do but what have they been doing? We need a safe nation to be in to be here & have Healthcare matter. Yes aid & funds for Medicare is important. But..sorry we need to help others but giving Medicare to millions of people coming into this country is taking away what's available funding for us here. Many who say they are pro Medicare & pro seniors are the ones inviting foreigners into the US, giving them funding taking away from Americans. Sorry it's the truth. Yes, let's educate ourselves & research not just believe someone, a group, a party attacking the other saying they care about seniors. Look at the senior in the White House that seems is under a little senior abuse. Just my opinion & thoughts. God bless you all God have mercy on America. ✝️

But you're a feminist & think that women should be liberated when in fact it's not so. All you liberal people will find out on judgement day
We need to protect and strengthen Medicare and Social Security, the life blood of many seniors!!! We need to raise or eliminate the Social Security cap which has not been increased in decades. This will easily prevent the need for cuts! (Don't listen to what they say without confirming what they do. That translates to checking their voting records!) Vote with those who fight to protect our futures!
Absolutely we need to vote for those who protect those programs that help seniors. Hold thrm accountable for keeping their word and their campaign promises.
@@geobus3307 also taxes will go up when the income tax reductions Trump put in place expire, if he is not elected. It’s all part of the 100 year communist take over of our constitutional republic that we are 75 years into. Make everyone rely on handouts (even though we paid taxes for Medicare and Social Security), bring in massive numbers of illegals to raise the crime rate, reduce police forces, and steal elections to stay on target for the downfall of America. When they come for our guns, hello Venezuela!
@@geobus3307 and that isn’t the left!
Medicare and Social Security was considered "communistic" etc - even the AMA many years ago. Now, it's a different story. It's the MAIN THING. Envision where this country would be if NOT for Social Security/Medicare.
Yeah those people would have made a lot more money if they weren't forced it gunpoint to give up half their earnings@@TLA123y6f
We all heard a very high level politician during the recent debate say they "Finally beat Medicare." Take them seriously when they say they want to take away your rights.
Take thrm very seriously as it could cost people their lives if they don't get adequate medical treatment.
And from my information - Project 2025 also targets medicaid (among other things). Medicaid is for lower income people. Medicaid is for disabled people. Disabled children.
@@TLA123y6f project 2025 is figment of your imagination and stop hiding behind your fake user name. We all heard it for ourselves on national television.

*Gotcha. I’m not a senior citizen yet but am on Medicare due to disability, so I’m glad you gave me a clue as to which political party this was. Carol- glad you brought this up. I wasn’t aware of this. Thank you.
So in terms if social security cuts, the answer is no. The latest discussion is that they will rather raise the cap which is currently $168,000. Everyone who makes this amount stops having it taken out of their check. They no longer make contributions. The suggestion is to raise the cap to $400,000 which would add an estimated net revenue of $66.5 BILLION. This is much more reasonable and realistic.
That was such a good video! It truly is incumbent on every one of us to research whatever we are trying to make a decision upon. On the subject of health, I have a sermon. I know so, so many people who are battling with health issues --diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. But most don't even begin to research why it would be that they're in a state of such compromised health. I'm 79 and about 4 years ago I began doing research on various subjects that I was curious about and was I ever surprised at what I found. At that time, I had an A1C of 7.3, blood pressure at 160-170 over 85 or so, on a good day. Then, I totally stopped eating sugar or anything containing sugar; stopped eating processed food, like lunch meat, snacks, etc. I am now completely off of all medication and all readings are now normal. But I had to be curious enough to find out what was going on. End of sermon.
I have learned recently what a Koller sugar is. Also, cancer l9ves sugar. One of the tests they conduct on spots to set ermine if they are cancerous is a glucose test!!
best sermon ever!!!! sure wish more ppl would learn about how aweful all the surgar and processed etables are. don't even call that stuff food. and the info is out there. actually tons of it. but it really is simple.
@@debrakiefel6914 I totally agree. And I learned that any research I did could NOT include any recommendations by any Western medicine 'experts'. But my knowledge on that would be yet another sermon.
Thank you Carol, I’m proud of you for coming out and sharing this information 👏🏻👏🏻🤗🥰 God Bless 🙏🏻
@@Jules73572 Thank you Jules.
And now the millions of migrants here the last few years are being given Medicare/medicade currently calif and New York are providing medical ; ebt (food stamps)etc I have been studying holistic alternatives to my specific conditions so not to rely on pharmaceutical.
PS I don’t typically comment however I feel this is an important situation for us
Thank you Carol ❤️✌🏼🙏🏻🇺🇸
Care to give your sources?
The “millions” of migrants don’t get the benefits you mention. I work in social services in a blue state and they are not entitled if they are it documented. The lies regarding this need to stop.
@@sunshine3914typical NIMBY liberal
@@sunshine3914Sources? Every resident near the southern border? California's own policies? What everybody knows already?
Hello, I have discussed the American Election with many of my friends. I live in Australia. We all agree that whomever is elected for president has a huge job in turning America around to what we previously knew it to be. So much has changed in your country over many years. No country is perfect but we see such differences in the general living conditions and finances. America has around 300M population compared to our 27M. I hope that all Americans can turn your country around to have a Medicare system similar to ours. Bless you all in up coming election. Cheers xxn
My friend, Maureen - whatever happens with leadership in the USA - effects to the whole world - especially for our first world allies. We appreciates the support of our mates down-under.
This is exactly what we need, talking about facts and policy, not spreading hate and calling names. Thank you!
People need to be mature in speech. My fear is SS and Medicare will be cut. We Seniors have paid into both. I've cut my budget as much as I can. I take surveys online to help my budget. Sadly, many in my small town don't even vote in local issues.
Millions will be gravely harmed if social security is cut. We need to pay attention and vote!!
@@martna1 Inflation is a hidden cut of our benefits. When real inflation is 20% but we get a 3% cola, it amounts to a cut.
@@anthonytripp2251exactly 😥
May I ask what companies do you do for online surveys? Thank you very much. I'm 73 and now have dental issues 😮
We were energy independent. As soon as our oil was shut down we started spending twice as much on gas, food, clothing, etc
Carol, I did appreciate your UA-cam recordings. As I approach age 65 with no end in sight to retiring, I can use all the wisdom I can get. What you shared is this messsage is critical. Thank you!
So many seniors will work the rest of their life. Things have sure changed. We must come up with different strategies in order to survive.
@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 Yeah, but is that even feasible. Can someone work when they're 90? And who would hire them? It's downright scary what we've become and where we're at.
The one question we should be asking is, how has our quality of life improved in the last four years?
That is a reasonable question
And comparing it with the prior four years.
That should be everyone's question. Also, people should ask themselves if they agree with illegal aliens being given unlimited resources, free medical and housing. $1,500.00 per month for food would sure help a lot of Americans, yet only the illegals received it.
@@minigirl6839what state do you live in the undocumented people get all these benefits.
@@minigirl6839It’s obvious where you get your “news”.
@@minigirl6839 That just totally sounds wrong!
I wonder where some people get their information from.
Hear say, I would guess.🙄
I turn 62 in December, I truly need what little I can draw on early social security to supplement what little income we struggle to earn.
I pray the my vote will even count.
Thanks Miss Carol
So many people would suffer tremendously if they had any delay at all on being able to collect social security.
