Take My Retirement -- Please!

By Jim Dallas

Kevin Drum has an insightful post on the political reality of raising the Social Security retirement age.

You know, as an eager young goof-trooper, it's easy to say "aww, shucks, sure, I'll work until I'm seventy." Work, when your'e 23, is pretty cool stuff. It's what sets you apart from your younger friends, and it helps buy cool stuff (like food and rent).

Though, now that I think about it, I may really feel differently about this in forty years. So I suppose Old Man Drum is correct.

Which seems to me why the elderly are most actively against a raise in the retirement age.
