Mostly because that’s another fight. I picked SS’s retirement age mostly because it’s already established as a reasonable age- this otherwise basically arbitrary age is already set so it simplifies the convo, that’s all.
Everything is always a fight. You’ll be lucky if the age isn’t boosted to 70 or 75 by the time you retire. It’s already happening as the whole world slides right. Even if you don’t want to fight, other more powerful groups are fighting against you with everything they have.
I fail to see how any of that is relevant to an upper age limits in congress.
Sorry, that’s an entirely separate conversation.
Again, the only reason I put it there is because it’s already an accepted age for retirement. That’s it. Which simplifies things by preempting the whole debate about where to put it.
Because that debate derails the conversation- every damn time. Currently, in point of fact… by you.
Social security deems retirement age at 65.
Let’s go with that .
they already increased it to 68.
air traffic controllers must retire at 56…
Why not lower that age too?

So? What’s your point?

Not if you conceded that 60 would be better than 65
Because then the billionaires would generate less money.
