Kinder Endorses Plan to Increase Social Security Eligibly Age and Privatize Medicare

Wednesday, Lt. Governor Peter Kinder tweeted his support for Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-WI) "Roadmap for America's Future" as a superior alternative to Barack Obama's agenda for the country.

Among other things, the "Roadmap" endorsed by Kinder increases in the eligibility age for Social Security and moves citizens under under 55 into a private “Medicare certified plan” outside of the current Medicare system. The vice president for policy at AARP says Ryan's plan "would be a complete revolution and would fundamentally change the character of Medicare."

Also under the plan, federal deficit spending would continue until 2080.
