We’re paying 36% less in retirement spending than our peers—just $1,783 per person compared to $2,776 elsewhere—and yet our leaders act like this is some kind of luxury we can’t afford. We don’t want to scrape by on scraps while everyone else gets what they deserve; we should match the standard and raise it to at least $2,700 per person, not settle for a pittance that leaves seniors struggling in the dark.
