Raise the age when people can collect social security to 70

Created by C.B. on September 28, 2011

The Obama Administration should raise the age when people can collect their social security because:

- With the technological advances, people are able to stay older longer. Thus making the government pay for the elderly for a longer period of time when they aren't contributing money to the economy.

- People are able to stay healthy longer and that allows people to be working far past the age of 65.

-It would save the government trillions of dollars over the next 10 years
