I was rather hoping when they put "raise retirement to 68 or 70", they mean in the near future. Legolas Send a noteboard - 10/10/2013 09:36:22 PM

View original postI dop like how the only real answer offered to fix the social security problem is to tell young people they have to keep payiong for their grandparents at the current rate but they will have to work until they or 68 or 70. The boomers created the problem let them take the hit.

And not just for those starting their career only now - it's hard to see how that could have much of an effect on the deficit in the time period that they're talking about. If you're going to wait that long and let people retire at 65 (and join Medicare at 65) until then, they'll have to retire at 80, more like.
