UM: Retirement

Most Michigan voters don’t want to raise the age for getting Social Security or Medicare as a way to tackle the federal fiscal crisis, according to a survey by the Detroit Free Press and WXYZ-TV. A Free Press article about the survey quotes Michael Traugott of the UM Center for Political Studies: “I think at some level, there is concern about the deficit. If 98% (of people) get a tax break and only 2% pay more, that seems all right.” [Source]
