Summary

89% Informative

About 1 in 5 Americans over 65 are working, even though they've passed the point where they are eligible for full retirement benefits and Social Security payments.

David Rothkopf : Biden 's retirement offers an opportunity to consider what is at stake as a society when so many people over the age of 65 keep working.

He says a mandatory retirement age would provide a neutral mechanism to ensure that retirement from public service happens smoothly than it has been the case with Biden .

Nearly all U.S. politicians and civil servants are free to stop working when they turn 65 or soon after.

Matthew Wolf-Meyer : The cost of living, including the costs associated with longevity, have outstripped the support provided by Social Security benefits.

He says Biden 's decision to retire offers a chance to collectively consider when Americans should retire.
