Social security is broken because it was devised in a time when most folks weren't expected to live past 65, and if you made it to 70 you were a lucky one indeed.

Now making it to 85 is nothing to bat an eye over.

That's true. Good luck though trying to extend the working age. We see how well that is going over in Greece, lol.

There is also the issue that, at least for a while, Congress seemed to think of the SS funds as a 'piggy bank' and kept raiding the account. Now, these were 'loans', but.... I remain skeptical of their repayment.
