You mention nothing about the effects on millions of people.

Anything that would balance the budget, or even move us in that direction to a significant degree, would have negative effects on a lot of people (even if its overall effect is positive). Your asked for a post about what I would do to reduce the budget deficit, what spending I would cut. You want to give me a large advance to write a book, then I might try to write chapters about the various effects each change would have.

You often ask for a level of detail that you yourself do not provide. In this case your retroactively asking for it, and implying its a failure on my part that I didn't comply with the request that you had not made yet. That's unreasonable.

folks are not being allowed to continue to work much beyond 60 yet alone beyond 65

That isn't generally true, even though it is true for specific people. And people live longer and longer they are going to have to work to an older age, or we are going to have to have an explosion in productivity for younger people, or we going to have severe problems going forward.
