It seems to be quite understood that Older = Wiser and the young can learn more. What concerns me is this: - its all very well changing the age but have government administrations also considered the other side of the fence - the Employer? - will government administrations also bring legislation into being which forbid employers who will advertise for permanent / part time / contract employees to indicate an age barrier to that offered position? - its all very well thinking that this will automatically apply to say government funded jobs or major corporations but what about the wider situation? - all very well to raise the retirement age as long as there are jobs available - if no jobs then we could end up with an awful lot of homeless grandmas and grandpas would'nt you say I have no problem with a raise in retirement age or indeed scraping such a limit (apart from certain special jobs such as Airline Pilots etc where safety has to be considered regardless of age).

We have gone past the point where the number of people putting money into the system is dwarfed by those taking money out of the system. Sorry folks, but get ready to retire at 80 (if you are lucky).
