We've got to make sure our younger workers understand that as life expectancy increases, the retirement date for benefits increases also.

There will come an age when our average life expectancy will reach 200 years.

In 1930, the death rate for Milwaukee’s blacks was nearly 60 percent higher than the citywide rate, due in large part to poor housing conditions.

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.

Infant mortality and life expectancy are reasonable indicators of general well-being in a society.

Well, we certainly need to raise the retirement age. I've told my 19-year-old and my 22-year-old that they're not going to be getting retirement benefits at age 62.
