Democrats try to buy seniors for $250

Democrats make pre-election pitch to help seniors - Yahoo! News: "WASHINGTON – Democrats are making a pre-election pitch to give Social Security recipients a one-time payment of $250, part of a larger effort to convince senior voters that their party, and not Republicans, will best look out for the 58 million people who get the government retirement and disability benefits."

Things are really bad when the Democrats think they have to outright buy seniors' votes. But I really don't think a one time buy-out of $250 is going to do it.
