If the government can't afford it, and of course it can't afford to pay pensions to perfectly healthy people for a hundred years, then they won't have a choice.

If the government can't afford it, and of course it can't afford to pay pensions to perfectly healthy people for a hundred years, then they won't have a choice. Anyway, I think society would change. The stigma that comes with a perfectly able young man sitting on unemployment benefits would also be applied to the able 90-year-old collecting benefits while playing golf. Assuming, that is, they could stand the pathetic trickle of cash pensions are, compared to their worth on the job market - and quite a wealth it could very well be. Anyway, don't people like working?
