So maybe we should all drop dead? Puhleeze. We have paid more into Social Security than any other generation and will get less. Our parents paid very little but used way, way beyond their contribution. And of course, Congress ate the whole fund anyway.
The retirement age used to be 65, but even the youngest of the Boomers won’t reach 65 until next year. In the meantime, the retirement age for some Boomers (a generation is 15 years) has been upped to 66, to 67 for people a couple of years younger, 68 for the next group, etc. So I’m not sure exactly what he expects the people “clogging up the pipeline” to do.
“...but even the youngest of the Boomers won’t reach 65 until next year.”
If the last year of the Boomer generation is 1964, then those born in that year will not be 65 until 2029!
