Lower age requirements for social security and medicare

Created by T.D. on October 26, 2011

Lowering the age to 59 vs current 62 eligibility for reduced benefits, and full benefits at 62 vs 65, with added agreement to leave their gainful employment for the next 3 years or face reduced future benefits, will prompt early retirements and create jobs through attrition
Despite their vast numbers (78 million), for example, Boomers increasingly fail to reflect the growing racial and socio-economic diversity of the nation. If 15% eligible take this option, enough jobs will be freed up for tax paying, ssa paying, medicare paying employees to drop off welfare and unemployment rolls that taxpayers are already paying,
Individuals opting to do this will either have health insurance available or be eligible for medicare.
