Rationale
Our economy has been stagnant for months. The economic decisions we've made, including the budget, will hopefully restore our economy to rapid growth. However, we need to make SUPPORTIVE decisions, first of all increasing the retirement age to the normal 60 years of age, not the extremely low 55.
