well, the question of a "reasonable age" as you said above, is being negotiated, everywhere, as funding does not cover the emerging pensionable bulge of population
That's what I just said. Deficit spending on the other hand is covering someone's bulge nowadays. They're using public indebtedness to prop up corporations, the US war machine through purchasing US T-Bills, and to cover banking losses at the European crap shoot. Then with all of that generosity they cry that we can't afford the grand folks anymore....or provincial transfers...or the public service...among other things. But we're getting new F35s, and new security arrangements with the American basket case, 10 years and counting in Afghanistan, the Libya debacle, Syrian sabre rattling, and on and on.
