Disagree - it makes sense to people who have plenty of money, and it makes sense in the context of people living longer. Most white-collar workers can't find decent employment as they age--especially after 65. I'm 57 and would go back to work so I can get health insurance, but my options for benefits-paying jobs are so limited it's not worth it. I agree that blue collar jobs take more of a toll on people's bodies but our elected officials are living in a whole 'nother stratosphere.
