Keep it! Changes should be in Government and Public Service retirement agreements. All American citizens should have minimum SS and MC at 65 including city workers, government employees ect... Early retirement, sure, but no SS and MC collection until age 65.SS and MC were started in 1934 and 1965 respectfully. In 1934 job were much more physical and people’s bodies broke down starting in their 50s. Nowadays go to any company and you see people working well into their 70s… heck even construction are less strenuous on the person’s body. The trend is only going to increase. In addition, medicine is getting better and people are living longer. This reality should be recognized.
In addition it is much easier to take care of oneself and eat better and feel better at older ages.
Our safety nets need to reflect this new reality.
