Cargo Bob, I am real curious as to what you feel I have overlooked but this thread is about the age 60 rule.

I think what the bill should do is slowly raise the retirement age to a reasonable age maybe 63 or something but what it should also change is the problems that people have when they retire at age 60. If you are being forced to retire before the standerd age then the retirement rules should change for that group to the age they are being forced to retire.

For example an airline pilot who is forced to retire at age 60 should be able to collect minium wage or better known as social security at age 60, and the tax breaks that retired people get should take effect at the earlier age. What is the problem with this kind of change, take away the penalty for being forced out of your job early.
