The life expectancy is much longer today than it was when Social Security was created.

Most people understand life expectancy has changed since Social Security started in 1937 when folks lived to be 59 years old. Today, they live to be 77 years old.

More retirees, longer life expectancy, larger benefits, and fewer workers - these trends have meant substantial increases in the payroll tax. Since the social security program began, the payroll tax has increased more than 500 percent.

In 1935, the year Social Security was created, the poverty rate for seniors was over 70%.

The average life expectancy of a celebrity is 20 years less than someone working in a coal mine.

I don't know of any bills we have. My pension and Social Security aren't huge, but between them we do nicely. We don't require a whole lot.
