Cycle of mistrust or not, this would likely work better than gradually increasing the retirement age as it happens in Europe. The free market always provides better solutions than state or superstate bureaucrats. In the EU they just throw regulation at any problem.

Disagree here, consider health care. Free market solutions here have led to healthcare being tied to your job, and only big employers able to gain any negotiation leverage, so individuals and small companies get screwed, big company employees are scared to leave, sometimes for this issue alone, and in effect, the desired "insurance" effect is undermined as people get sliced into smaller and smaller buckets.
Despite what conservative propaganda would have you believe, nationalized health care does not preclude private health care on top, and in fact it makes the market for that care much more competitive and reasonable for individuals who seek it.
