Might sound a bit idealistic, but then there is no easy answer.
One thing is for sure,this country can not afford a work force that retired at 50 and now 55 .
Okay when we popped off at 70 ish maybe, but we are all expected to live so much longer now.

They retire at 55 at the moment, what desk jobs do you suggest people who run into burning buildings for a living do?
Will they be on the same salary to carry out these admin positions?
