I think we need to--one of the things we need to do here is look at our rules and laws around that and perhaps make some changes to make that access to the workforce easier at a younger age but that is a discussion for another day.
Smucker emphasizes the need to revise laws for youth workforce access.

The question is, if someone has very high income during retirement age, should they really be able to access Social Security in the same way that someone in poverty does?
People like the four seasons here... But we have a lot of people who are relying on these programs… and we have seen fraud across the system in federal programs.
We can’t allow that to happen, and the only way you address that is to start being serious and realistic about the math problem and the demographics.
There’s already a retirement age that has been increasing gradually for a certain cohort, and that’s one of the changes you could make, and that would seem to make sense because people are living longer.
