Life expectancy is going down



When SS was started life expectancy was 62, now it is 77-78. That is the issue.

Currently 73 years for men and 79 years for women.

Ill save your breath on the next logical question - no one is going to suggest men should be eligible earlier than women. But we must fix the gender pay gap.

When reforms took place in the early eighties and retirment age was raised to 67 life expectancy was 74. It is not that much higher now.
