If our greedy and corrupt US congress both past and present didn’t raid Social Security and left it as a true fund then perhaps we wouldn’t be in a similar pickle too. How much more can the retirement age be raised? 70? They would rather you work and then die-—leave all your paid in contributions to the illegals and loafers—all who vote for the Dems!

Well, I retired at 55 and took my pension and again at 62 from my hobby job and went on SS. Life’s been good these last 9 years.

My younger brother retired at 62 and died 6 months later...

If there are any additional increases in Social Security retirment age, there should be an exception for those who have spent considerable time at hard physical labor. I am thinking miners, steel workers and the like. Their bodies take a much greater beating than office workers, or people in light manufacturing.
