we're asking too much of the young people as it is, now we're gonna tell them to pay more and pay longer and retire when they're practically dead?.....I'm not for it...

I'm not for "means testing" per se, but I do think there is a group receiving multiple govt pensions and they should be indexed....

some people worked for the govt and got that big pension and had a little sliver of private work and then they end up with SS too....

disability has got to stop being the panacea it is for so many...it should be reserved for those confined to wheelchairs, or horribly disfigured. or some terrible disorder....it shouldn't be for stress, knee or back pain, or fibromyalgia, etc...that is my opinion.....

I agree with the multiple government pension thing - and disability as well. You’re correct.

However, a gradual and slow raising of the age simply is not, as you put it, “asking more of our young people” - besides, it’s reasonable, logical and necessary.
