I am a late boomer. I am not very far from retiring and for 35+ years Social Security has been part of my long term planning. I have paid in and never missed a week, SO just when you think you are there... they want to take it away.
Republicans are bad people.

This. A lot of people don't work jobs that you can do at 70. 
You can sit in Congress until the coroner collects your body (average age is 60). But you're not working in an Amazon warehouse at 65. >

There is a HUGE difference between 

I still want to be active and do something engaging with my time in retirement! 

and 

I cant miss any time this week or I lose my house >

100%.  I might want to still be able to be employed, and actively engaged,  but I don't want to have to feel hopeless and like I have no choice but to work through ailments until death. 
One is hopeful and healthy, the other is dystopian. >

My in-laws lost their asses in the 2009 crash. Well over half their retirement. They both went back to work full time. My mother in law is still commuting (a really shitty commute) 3 days a week. At 76. They thought they were all set, but had never switched their high risk investments to lower risk. That's a mistake we won't make! I have zero desire to be working past 60, thanks. >

Meanwhile finance bros are tooth and nail defending our broken investment system “well bro you can’t lose because it’s an 8% return average”. They forget that 8% return on $0 after all that imaginary money disappears is still zero… >

Bro it’s all good. I got 25% of my portfolio in crypto!

Social security is not stopping anyone from working longer. >

I'm surprised I had to come this far down the thread to see this. If you wanna work longer its not like it somehow stops you from doing so. I have a lady in my office that is 86. >

Fuck that lady. >

Little old for my tastes, but if you insist... >

Hey you, grandma fucker >

Im 52, its allowed.
