hooper: regarding your ridiculous idea to raise the retirement age to 72, you realize that the average american life expectancy is only 78, right?
so work for 50+ years, retire, and then promptly die – if you’re lucky – so we can reduce the payouts to social security and medicare.
what a bleak and miserable idea, and one completely anathema to the american spirit.
if you don’t mind, i’d rather enjoy my sunset years a little longer. but somehow i think you do mind.
