The average life expectancy for a male at that time was around 57!!
So, most men never lived long enough to receive the pension.
With this in mind, I don’t think asking people to work until 67 is such an imposition, considering that life expectancy is now around 80 for a male, and work is now generally less physical than in 1909.
Also, going onto a Debit Card is totally different to food stamps. The debit card is not much different to a normal bank card, you just can’t use it to buy alcohol or gamble.
