Elder folks, disabled & ill workers were forced to continue careers late into life bc they had nothing to turn to.OVB introduced mandatory retirement age/SS.It gave older workers the opportunity to retire w/ dignity.Provided a safety net for disabled/ill.Opened door for younger workers to thrive boosting the overall economy. SS is great for the economy is a winning argument nobody makes.
