And Americans' personal-savings rate was minus 1.7% in May; Mr Rother thinks plus 10% would be more prudent.

同时美国的个人储蓄率在5月是负1.7%；洛特先生说正10%才是谨慎的。

Jogn Rother, the AARP's head of policy and strategy, points to studies showing that other things being equal, people who remain at work have lower death rates than their retired peers.

美国退休人员协会政策与战略的领导，指到研究表明其他事情是公平的，现在仍在工作的人们有更低的死亡率比那些已经退休的。

John Rother, AARP's policy director, says the problem is not that old people's benefits are too generous, but that medical inflation is too high and Americans do not save enough for retirement.

约翰·洛特，AARP的政策主管，说问题不是老人的津贴太过丰厚，而是医疗的通货膨胀太高，美国人没有为退休作足够的储备。
