The original SS "retirement age" exceeded an American's average life expectancy - maybe its time to up the age requirment accordingly?

Sorry, untrue. Live expectancy at birth in 1937 was over 66 years; retirement age is 65. However, your basic point that the increase in life expectancy has been a major factor in social security's financing problem is right on the mark
