1. Conclusion: they are going to raise my SS retirement age..again
They already raised it three years. At this rate, I will only get benefits for half the period I would have otherwise. That is a benefit cut.

2. Some of us will never be able to retire.
We will be hobbling around our offices with walkers, hooked up to O2 tanks. The break room will have vending machines full of prunes and Geritol. That is, if there are any jobs at all. I guess we will have to move to India if we figure on ever having anything to retire from.

5. My friend's parents are in their 70s and still working
They have no retirement income or savings to speak of. I am not sure about medical benefits. They probably only have Medicare.
