Description
When Social Security began delivering payments to older Americans in 1940, the retirement age for eligibility was 65. At the time, the average life expectancy was 63. Today, average life expectancy is about 76, and most Americans can expect to live another 20 years after they retire. The United States also has a far higher proportion of elderly people--about 17 percent of the population--than it did when the program began. As a result of these factors, Social Security's cash reserves are expected to run out by 2034. If that happens, many Americans might see their benefits cut or delayed. To shore up the system, the U.S. government could raise taxes--never a popular idea--or raise the retirement age, thereby delaying when people begin receiving benefits. Supporters of raising the retirement age argue that people are now living longer and extending their careers a few more years would spur economic growth and help stabilize the Social Security cash reserves. Opponents argue that many Americans are unable to work longer and tat delaying benefits will force them to struggle to meet daily needs. Should the government raise the retirement age?
