Taxes will rise while workers are told they need to save more and work into their 70s to avoid the plight.

So what? When Social Security was passed, life expectancy was about 68 years. Now it's more like 77 years. Old people retiring today will receive far more in benefits than they ever paid in. Damn right they ought to work into their 70's, assuming they are healthy. I certainly will.

"I certainly will."

Get back to me when you're 70.
