Fixed Incomes

Landlords crank up the rent every year, yet people living on disability pensions and the like are lucky to get an increase every couple of decades and even then it will not catch up with inflation. Such pensions should be indexed to the cost of living. It is much more difficult to handle a rent increase when there is only a couple of hundred dollars left over after rent than when rent makes up only 1/3 of your income.
