No what? What part of the data I posted are you contradicting? Parent and I were talking growth rates, not absolute numbers. Sure, after a few years of slightly negative growth, the absolute numbers might be lower than at the very end of the negative growth. But the growth rate is now positive (for several years in a row) and expected to climb higher over the next few decades. If you think you’ve got something the CBO, SSA, CDC, and Census Bureau don’t, please share it.

And possibly that the negative growth looks to have been a relatively short outlier.

The SSA, CBO, and the Census Bureau all predict life expectancy to rise over the next 30 years.
