Check what average life expectancy for someone already 65. You will find it quite different than your number. Infant mortality is not a big factor when your 65!

By that time, anybody reading this will be older than 67 and/or deceased anyway..

60 to 65 pushed through Congress in what? 3 months?

Yup- It'll happen. Public support will drive the age 67/68 law. And who cares anyway-- if you want to retire early, just do it.

That isn't why people oppose it and you know it.

This quantifies it further. The article's tone is about "inequality" and the graphs are based on education level not income but education obviously has a pretty good income correlation.

I can't see wanting to go past about 60 anyway, enjoy life and the money you made. Maybe I would consider a part time airline pilot job, say 20 hours per month.

Bureaucrats run and hide in the face of significant decisions with serious ramifications.

If this congress doesn't do it, the next one might. I wouldn't write it off just yet.

Or wait for the Europeans to lead again...... that is the most likely scenario....
