It was 65. They started raising that age based in the rising life expectancy. I think the reps may have been responsible for this, a small move to turn the ponzi scheme around.

67 to 69 seems a bit ridiculous. I don't think the working population life expectancy is increasing at the same rate. It would appear that this may be the only way to discontinue SS payouts without shutting down the income stream. People pay into the system while not living long enough to receive much in return .... what a novel idea to add on to this ponzi scheme.

The dems will never cut anything to bring deficit spending under control save for Clinton cutting the military. They have to be viewed as the good guys in the eyes of ignorant voters ... therefore, if any cuts are made it must be in the hands of reps. It isn't going to be pretty at some point down the road. We will have to suffer soon or the whole thing will implode and we will all suffer much.
