Dr. Mehmet Oz's insipid comments continued:

" ... It would provide us unbelievable strength because the taxes on that $3 trillion would allow to keep Medicare Part A solvent. It would allow us to make Social Security healthier. Tremendous downstream benefits. But to do that, you have to invest in making sure that people want to work the extra year."

So, Dr Mehmet Oz wants Americans to start working younger and then longer like peasants to pay for the massive national debt caused by the obscene and unnecessary 2025 Republican tax cuts for billionaires and oligarchs, AKA the "BBB." The nefarious Trumpf junta just removed 1.7 million people from SNAP benefits, the VA budget is being slashed, they want to introduce 50-year home mortgages to the masses, the Dept of Education is callously collecting delinquent school loans, and auto repossessions reached a record 2.2 million vehicles in 2025.

The oligarchs and Republicans see the American masses as either food, organ donors, foot soldiers for overseas conquests, or medieval vassals that must toil from the age of 18 to 80 without universal healthcare or chance to escape their poverty.

So, don't enjoy the innocence or youth in American Graffiti or the golden years in Cocoon.

Just keep working!

An Armenian I know immigrated to the US from Argentina in the 1980s. At a poker game one night, he remarked that after growing up in Buenos Aires, he realized that America was all about our social security numbers and work work work.

I replied to "G.O." that indeed, the American system wants to monetize us from age 22 (college graduation) to 65 (social security and Medicare realization). We must survive until 65.

The retirement age then moved to 67.

Soon, the Republicans and oligarchs will want to raise that too.

"Work till your 80!"

Billionaires and oligarchs like the members of Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) never have to worry about work or retirement ages.

We do.
