     so, in several countries in Western Europe, there's a debate going on about the ageing population and increasing the age of retirement.

     is anything like that going on in any US states?

     i'm asking about the state-level because i'm finding that individual American states can have a lot in common with how we do things in much of Western Europe, even if no such things exist on the federal level.

     the other day, i spoke to an American and they described their state's system for unemployment and sick leave benefits and it was very similar to Norway's or Scandinavia's.
