The GOP would be delirious because it would save Social Security and Medicare because very few people would make it that far. The GOP knows that many fewer people could draw at 70 because so many would be dead or broke before then. 80 or higher would be even better. There would still be a program and it would have huge surpluses.
The GOP practices what I call "store front" programs. What they want is like walking on a Hollywood set. You walk down the street of the town. As soon as you walk through the front door of any building you are in a field. There is no there there.
