Yep just like Social Security was meant to support destitute elderly people. Back then, life expectancy was 55 years old? If we want to be accurate, we should raise it to 75 years now

But that would just support/extend the second part of the SS scam. The first of course is that it's a Ponzi scheme.
Second is if you re-set the age of eligibility to the age when most people are already dead, there's no sense in having the program at all.
I'd rather it stayed at 65 and let the people who earned it get it - and then let the DemoRats figure out how to pay for it - they invented it.
