Except it won't will it. Pension age will be 95 by the time todays tax payers reach the age. So we are asking them to contribute more than they can afford to do, whilst not actually having the chance to reap the benefits themselves. This simply cannot continue forever. It can't. We cannot afford this and I do agree with attempting to sort out the mess that has been made (triple lock promises and such

)
