[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 5739841, member: 23516"] I haven't deleted squat, never argued against Social Security saying most people were dead before 65. Either you're lying or you have lost what little sense you had. Here's what I said: [I]Let's be truthful about the reality. Life expectancy in 1940 was 62 years. You weren't eligible to collect benefits until age 65. Stop acting like there was this big problem of all these old people struggling with poverty. Most people weren't living long enough to struggle with poverty in old age.[/I] I know you like to babble on about infant mortality skewing the numbers, so we'll just focus on adults. 42% of people who turned 21 in 1940 were dead by their 65th birthday. 22% of people who turned 21 in 1990 were dead by their 65th birthday. In 1940, people 65 and over made up 6% of the population. In 1990, people 65 and over made up nearly 12% of the population. The percentage of adults who made it to age 65 was significantly lower than than it is today. The average adult didn't live as long as he does today. The average retiree didn't live as long as he does today. Is there some reason you struggle with comprehending this information? [/QUOTE]
