No senior can live in dignity when they are trying to survive on $13,000 or $14,000 a year in Social Security benefits. Donald Trump and my Republican colleagues want to cut Social Security but we have some bad news for them. We’re not going to cut Social Security benefits. We’re going to protect Social Security and increase benefits for retirees. | Bernie Sanders

Social Security keeps 18 million seniors out of poverty every year. Trump and Musk are lying about it for one reason: so they can cut, privatize & dismantle it. We must EXPAND Social Security benefits, not cut them. And I am introducing a bill to do just that. | Bernie Sanders

After Trump promised not to cut Medicaid, the GOP reconciliation bill guts the program and throws 15 million people off their health care. It’s a disaster not only for rural hospitals but for nursing homes & community health centers. We must expose him for the fraud that he is. | Bernie Sanders

More than 5 million American seniors face the threat of hunger and 1 million a year go hungry, according to a report released on Tuesday by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) at a hearing of a Senate panel he chairs. Poor nutrition can cause chronic diseases that require costly hospital or nursing home care, according to the report released at a meeting of the Senate Subcommittee on Primary Health and Aging. | U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders

Thanks to the many Vermont seniors who joined me for a virtual town hall on Thursday night. While we couldn’t be together in person this year for our annual holiday dinners, I’m glad I had the opportunity to hear from you. It’s abundantly clear that Vermonters, like millions of Americans across our country, are facing enormous challenges — inadequate Social Security benefits, high prescription drug costs, student loan debt, unemployment — just to name a few. It’s my hope that in the new year, un

We have worked very hard to develop legislation which finally meets the long-neglected needs of the working class. $3.5 trillion is already the compromise — we must pass the infrastructure bill and the reconciliation bill in tandem. | Bernie Sanders

At a time when nearly 25% of older Americans are socially isolated, it’s imperative we support programs for older adults. We cannot turn our backs on our older friends, neighbors, and family members — even now as our state is reopening, we must continue to think creatively and support programs that help combat social isolation. Know I will continue to do everything I can in Congress to ensure older Vermonters can live in security and dignity. | U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders

Millions of seniors in this country are going hungry today. 4 out of 5 seniors who need a home-delivered or congregate meal do not receive one. We must increase funding for the Older Americans Act, reduce malnutrition, and meet the urgent needs of our nation's seniors. | U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders

Republicans want to raise the retirement age. I, for one, don't believe that 87-year-olds should be bagging groceries at the supermarket. I've got another idea: force the people on top to pay their fair share in taxes so we can expand benefits. | Bernie Sanders

In America today, 12 million seniors are dealing with food insecurity. One way to combat this crisis is by investing in programs to ensure that older adults have the support they need with high-quality home and community-based services. And that’s what Meals on Wheels does. | U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders

Many seniors can’t afford dental care, hearing aids or glasses. I’m proud that all Democrats supported my amendment last night to expand Medicare to cover dental, hearing and vision paid for by cutting prescription drug costs for Medicare in half. No Republicans voted for it. | U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders

Through my efforts to increase funding for the Older Americans Act, I have been a long-time supporter of senior centers. From nutritious meals, to volunteer service opportunities, to exercise, art, language, and cooking classes, Vermont’s senior centers are an excellent resource to help seniors stay active and healthy. To find a senior center near you, call the Vermont Senior Helpline at 1-800-642-5119, or visit the Vermont Department of Disabilities, Aging, and Independent Living’s website at:

Trump told working people and seniors he would not cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. And yet his nominee for budget director Congressman Mulvaney, is on record wanting to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. He said he thinks Social Security is a Ponzi scheme and wants to raise the retirement age to 70. Did Trump lie to the American people yet again? | U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders
