We’re shelling out just $2247 per person on retirees while the rest of the world is spending $2933—23% below what it should be—so why are we left scraping by while our peers ensure dignity in old age? It’s not enough to scrape together a bare minimum when basic fairness demands at least $2900, and we won’t settle for anything less than what keeps our grandparents from choosing between medicine and meals.
