“3. Immediately increase the retirement age to 77-80 years old.”

Just because people can live longer doesn’t mean they can work longer. You’d be dragging people out of their nursing home beds.

No. If they are already retired they are OUT of the picture. This is for those not yet retiring.

Increase the age for full retirement and benefits. The going talk is to raise it to 70. I personally think it should be higher for those not in it and those not yet 65 which is the age today, this minute, right now.

If individuals are not capable of working we have other provisions in social security and medicare for them.

not to mention they would have to compete for jobs with 20 and 30 year olds.

. Immediately increase the retirement age to 77-80 years old.

I wonder how K-one Texas would feel working as a roofer at, say, age 77? Hmmm?

Some Freeper statements are beyond stupid.
