Trying to figure out whose error this was, Barnes, Johnson, or Salon:
The age has already been raised from 66 to 67 and hasn't been 65 in years.
Regardless, all attempts to raise the full retirement age are essentially a Social Security cut.
The data is skewed because of Covid-19
But with people living a lot longer raising the retirement age isn't necessarily a cut its offsetting the increase in life expectancy
And as far as I can tell, the 65-67 was phased in over 22 years, and over the time period of that phase in, the life expectancy grew greater than that age phase in
