Phasing in a retirement age increase is the easy way to cut costs, and is 100% fair. It's not like the COnstitution demands that X% of everyone's life is to be leisure.
Anyone peeved by the use of "tough"... well,
tough. I used it on purpose, because every time anyone mentioned "the third rail" all rational debate ends. The electorate indeed needs to grow a pair, and be tough.
