some, some spending changes as well, but-

Y- yeah.

So, uh, you know, in 1983, we did increase the age by which you could get your full benefit from 65 to 67 over a period of years.

And one factoid that I'm just very impressed by, if you look at males born in 1960, that by definition reach 62 in 2022, if you're in the bottom 20% of male earners, you live on average 15 years beyond 62.

But if you're in the top quintile of male earners, you live 25 years more, a 10-year difference.

And therefore, the plan that I've put forward would increase the retirement age, but only for higher earners.

The top two quintiles would be phased in and the fourth quintile.

Uh, Wendell, what's your, what's your prescription for how to get Social Security reform done?

And Wendell, you've proposed some...

Some spending changes as well.

Yeah.
