I'd you really wanted to fit this square peg into your artificial triangle hole, I'd argue that in practice this is closer to “lowering benefits” than to “raise taxes” since the purchasing power of the retired would decline compare to the population average.

But again, there's no basis to chose just your three items in particular.



This is not fitting anything into anywhere. This is how economists think about.


Economists working on pensions think about productivity a lot, and they don't bundle that in your “raise taxes” category.
