In 1935 when social security was set up, the average life expectancy was 61.7, and SS benefit was paid to those who retired at age 65. Shouldn't we either raise the retirement age to 81.2 (3.3 years past current life expectancy), or drop the net benefit? Or should we allow the federal government experience the same horrific, and departmentally crippling effects that have already been experienced by small American city's from the same paradigm with relation to their police and fire departments?
Lastly, in 1935 the first canned beer was produced, is it logical for me to levy a suit against Anheiser Busch because the can of Bud Light I just drank did not keep me drunk 20.7% longer than it would have made my great grand father?
