Fact vs. Spin: Did Mike Rogers Want to "Raise the Retirement Age to 67"? Here Is What Social Security's Own Rules Say
In Wednesday's Michigan Senate debate, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed said Republican Mike Rogers is "on record" wanting to privatize Social Security and "raise the retirement age to 67," so seniors would "work two more years." Social Security's own table shows the full retirement age is already 67 for everyone born in 1960 or later, under a 1983 law Ronald Reagan signed. The privatization charge rests on a position from 2000. Mostly spin.
