Reply #169: what nonsense. There ARE alternatives to raising age of eligibility -

[bread_and_roses]

- and I don't intend to list them here because a few seconds with google will provide all the resources you need on that. Oh, and btw, try standing behind a cash register all day when you are 60, or working on a road crew before you tell us how we have to raise the SS age - we should be demanding it be LOWERED - we need to open those job slots for younger people - and the age is ALREADY TOO HIGH. And don't tell me how people are living longer blah blah blah. Like I said, try doing manual work when you're 60.

And SS is not an "entitlement." That is a Right Wing talking point.
