This is a very small step in the right direction. It's only a 2year decrease, from 62 to 60, and applies only to workers who began their working lives when they were teenagers.

This is actually a very wise policy at a time when unemployment is high and the workers facing retirement are members of the "Baby Boom" cohort. Moving some of them toward a somewhat earlier retirement simply makes room for younger workers who are now having a hard time finding a job.
