      I have and will have no children

      I’ve been graduated from college for 18 years

      I’ve never paid an overdraft fee in my life

      I am 24 years from being Medicare eligible

      I don’t think I’m that unique. Your below policies will help many, but also will not make a difference for many. Sorry I am not pleased being in a perpetual donut hole. Too poor to be comfortable, yet too “rich” to get help.

          Didn’t say you did.

          I just want you to realize there are still a ton of us struggling, regardless of what the official numbers say. For a lot of us, or pay has not caught up with inflation, and there is no sign of it happening soon. Necessities continue to go up faster than inflation. I don’t care that TVs are cheaper, I don’t need a new tv, but I do need to eat.

          It is more dangerous this November than people realize.
