Rand Paul: Social Security Age May Need to be Raised

From NEWSMAX:

U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul said Sunday the age of eligibility for Social Security and Medicare may need to be raised for future recipients.

But Paul, speaking during the first televised debate of the general election season with Democratic opponent Jack Conway, said he doesn’t want to change those benefits for older people already receiving them. The debate was aired on FOX News.

“But we do have to admit that we have the baby boom generation getting ready to retire, and we’re going to double the amount of retirees,” he said. “And to put our head in the sand and just say we’re just going to keep borrowing more money is not going to work. There will have to be changes for the younger generation.”
