You have a link? Your the one making the extreme claim.

But if you want a link try

ltgov.state.ri.us

ltgov.state.ri.us

infoplease.com

And since you said
"What we have now is about the same percentage of the population is living beyond 70 or so as has always."

There is the simple fact that the average life expectancy used to be a lower number then my current age (36) if you go back far enough.

scb.se

Thi link includes lfe expectancy at 65, not just from birth.
efmoody.com

And then probably best of all

Table 1: Life Expectancy for Social Security

Year Cohort Turned 65 Percentage of Population Surviving from Age 21 to Age 65

ssa.gov

From 1940 to 1990 it goes from 53.9 to 72.3 in men and 60.6 to 83.6 for women.

It took me two minutes to get all of that from google. I think your educated enough to already know the general facts (without the specific details like exact life expectancy and exact %'s living to specific ages), and to know that it would not be hard to find supporting info. I wonder why you even bother with the "Got a link?" Finding a link is just too easy, and my point would be just as true if I didn't know how to use a search engine.
