Anyone under 60 right now should make sure they are going to be fit and able to work well past the traditional retirement age. Low birth rates and economic storms ahead insure that.
I suppose if you had the good sense to have a bunch of kids then that will help.
As for the aged with no children that cannot work in their 70? Oh, there will be a plan, don’t you worry about that.
Extending the retirement age beyond 65 only works if there are jobs for people aged 65 and older to do. Current administration economic policies have killed off job creation in this country. Many people are “retired” today in their 50’s and early 60’s because they can’t find jobs, not because they want to be retired.

Are you thinking of Soylent Green?
Maybe the system should be redone so those people who had children - had future workers - can stay on Social Security at 65 - and those liberals who didn't can work til they drop.

I applaud this direction, as it’s time for one generation to stop stealing from the next. It’s “theft” because those benefiting know that those who are funding their retirement have no hope of receiving the same benefit as compensation).
