Zombie allusions: They just keep on coming™: "...raising the qualifying age for Social Security..."

Paul Krugman's Zombie Social Security Reform Idea


"This is interesting from Paul Krugman. He describes Chris Christie’s idea of raising the qualifying age for Social Security as a “zombie idea.” Something that is, or at least should be, long dead but one that still stalks the night. This is something I find fascinating as I was originally convinced of the merits of the idea by Krugman’s sometime collaborator Brad Delong. Delong’s explanation of why we should raise the Social Security qualifying age seeming to me to be very good economics indeed."
