74

I'm constantly amazed by the number of eventheseriousliberals who imagine that once we cut that grand bargain on social security we can put the issue to bed for all eternity.

WILL: -- is simple. I mean the average length of retirement in the 20th century expanded from two years to 20 years. The system was never designed for this. If we had indexed the retirement age to life expectancy in 1935, the retirement age today would be 74 and we'd have no problem.


Seventy fucking four.
