It's a simple fact that there is a larger proportion of the population over 65 than there was in 1930. More than double the percentage. So it is bullshit to say they are of the same decrepit health as the 65 year olds of 1930.
We are living longer. We have doubled the entitlement load. And we have added another entitlement on top of that.
It is a safety net. Not a way of life.
