| Message | is there any need for this forced retirement? people can choose to retire before 65 but this bill forces those who may not want 2 2 do so. |

| Message | Lower retirement age means more pensions and health costs to pay by the government. I'm assuming that the purpose of this bill is to create more job opportunities for younger workers (like recent college grads) by eliminating older workers from teh equation. But we cannot expect younger, less skilled workers to adequately replace more experienced, older workers. Making someone in upper management retire early doesn't create entry-level jobs. |

| Message | LSP has a good argument... So does JCP, forced retirement would be much more costly to our society. |

| Random quote: "In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a cheque. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - Martin Luther King Jr. |
