As inflation rises, serious hardships are being placed on already struggling senior citizens on minimal fixed incomes, with many suffering from malnutrition.
There are many factors that triggered the inflationary surge, not the least of which was the devil-may-care progressive spending spree of the Biden administration and the Congress it controls. Since Biden took office, the rate of inflation which was 1.4% has risen at least 8.5% and is still climbing.
Before the surge a quart of milk cost about 90 cents. The price of that same quart of milk today is more than 20% higher at about $1.09 per quart, as are many nutritional items becoming out of reach for suffering senior citizens.
