GOP Leaders Weigh Raising Soc. Sec. Age - Yahoo! News
One word - duh. As we live longer we are also more productive later in life than in the past. It only makes sense to raise the retirement age. Right now for those of us born after 1960 it is 67, and personally I expect it to be up to 70 by the time I am close to retirement age.
Instead of the damn personal savings accounts, how about not only some 401(k) (and similar program) reform AND training on how to work with them starting at an early age. Republicans are always yelling about smaller government (at least in social programs), so why not use what works BUT actually train people in how to make the maximum use of their 401. Oh wait, that's right, then we would have more control over our lives. (I guess I am in a crabby mood today....)
