Republicans Want to Raise Retirement Age to 70 as Life Expectancy Is Falling

Changing populations, simple maths. It sucks, but like laws of physics, there is a limit to the tax $ you can squeeze out of people to pay for mroe and more servises.

Scoial securty as it now was only doable with a large number of up and coming younger people to support it, the boomers(those people) are now booming into retirement homes, and the follwoing generations have seen less and less children, and we cant afored it much longer with a much lower persentagve of popluation earning tax dollors.

You can cry all about it, you can blaim the republicans, but what do you thing the soultion is? rembering that once you confiscate every single cent from every single millionare and up you can only run the US goverment for a few months..
