Do you agree with raising the Social Security retirement age to 70?

Asked by Ron_C (14480points) July 1st, 2010

I am 63 and love my job and believe that I will continue working to at least the age of 70. Saying that, I don’t see how can force someone that works a labor job to work past the age of 62. Your retirement age should be tied to you job. I don’t think we have to worry about the safety of office workers as they age. However jobs like millwrights, farm labor, police, etc.. should have voluntary retirement at much earlier ages. One system does not fit all.
If the government wants to reduce the deficit, it should be done with cuts in non-productive programs like new weapons research, extending wars that have no bearing on national security, and reduce perks for elected officials.
