I have a great affinity for senior citizens.

Our seniors have worked long and hard to better the economy, raise families and serve their communities. They deserve to live independent and active lives in their golden years.

We have an opportunity, but we have an obligation to senior citizens and to the younger people who are entering the workforce today to help ensure that they are going to be able to trust the government to have a workable program that benefits them as well.

And because of these programs like Medicare, Medicare prescription drugs, Social Security, we now have the healthiest and wealthiest group of senior citizens that the world has ever seen. This is a continuing commitment to that.

As the nation's elderly population grows, dozens of industries have tried to harness the political might of older Americans for corporate goals.

It's dishonest to say we're doing everything we can for our seniors when there is so much more we can.

I'm older. There's some sort of seniority. As a matter of fact, the seniority ebbs as you get older.

Anything that we can do to improve the lives of elderly people is welcome so far as I am concerned.

Every once in a while, you live long enough to get the respect that people didn't want to give while you were trying to become a senior citizen.

It makes good sense for planners everywhere to provide more facilities in general that are aimed at older folks.
