To The Daily Sun,

It used to be that seniors got a discount on some things. Not anymore! If they are in a wheelchair and have to sit in the house all day they have to pay big money in order to have cable TV. So they have choice TV or food, and if they live in low income housing they have no choice of a cheaper package you have to have what everyone else has or none at all! And you can't call another cable company because there aren't any other companies to call. And if you ask why they are going up the answer is, "I can't tell you."

Its great that seniors get low income housing. Its all the extras that they have to pay out of their once a month check that is so hard. In the summers its air conditioning; year round there's TV and phone, and bus fair, and medication and doctors and car care if they are lucky enough to have one.

Stay in your homes as long as you can because once you get into housing or the nursing home your wont have much money in your pocket. Getting old is no fun. (No TV isn't either.)
