**Submission Statement:** The idea of seniors living on fixed incomes is mostly outdated; it reflects a bygone time in American society. Only a fraction of seniors are fully rely on Social Security, which is automatically adjusted for inflation, providing built in protection against rising prices. Meanwhile, many retirees have investments and property, both of which have grown in value over their lifetime. Seniors as a whole are less economically vulnerable than most, and concerns about inflation hurting seniors are overstated when compared to challenges facing younger / working generations.
