Social Security Administration (SSA) commissioner Frank Bisignano has not ruled out raising the retirement age to help shore up the payment system’s solvency.
Speaking on Fox’s Mornings with Maria on Thursday, Bisignano, who was appointed by President Donald Trump earlier this year, said “I think everything’s being considered” when asked by host Maria Bartiromo if he would look at raising the retirement age.
A spokesperson for the SSA told Newsweek that Bisignano “outlined that there are a whole host of items being considered and that eight years is a long way away. While he did say that ‘everything will be considered,’ it was after a much more insightful conversation regarding solvency and how Commissioner Bisignano is making the Social Security Administration easier to access, faster to respond, and better prepared to meet the challenges of tomorrow.”
It’s hilarious that the good-ol’ days they talk about wanting to go back to were built on the most sweeping socialist policies we’ve ever enacted, that were so popular they had to put a cap on getting reelected.
