I don't think that the baby boomer numbers were considered long enough ago. The balloon in births at that time overwhelms the system. To raise the retirement age would help the problem.

Raising the retirement age( especially that high)comes with an enormous sset of complications. One of which would be that when you reach that age you begin to have medical problems related to age. And if your retirement is not covered then thats a serious problem. Not to mention the fact that you will be dealing with a disgruntled generation who has to adjust to this policy.
