Unrest in the GOP?

I said there are a lot of people that live on SS alone, I help out at our senior center every now & then. A lot in their 80s & up had a farm with their (usually) husband that usually dies first, they were lucky to even pay anything into the fund yet alone save for retirement. Even me in my mid 60s, if I hadn't gotten back into steady work in 94 I wouldn't have crap, low wage earners naturally pay little in & get little out, there were no 401s or the like back a few decades if your not making much you spend every dime to live. Before SS people mostly worked until they no longer could, then were a burden on their family or died. SS by the simple thought of providing some type of meager retirement income in turn opened up many jobs that otherwise would have never opened. What sense does it make to keep raising the retirement age when employment is low? There are even quite a few professions where there is an age limit, maybe if I sat on my butt in Congress for a couple months a year for a six digit salary + working into my 70s or 80s wouldn't be such a bad idea.
