Gary Johnson, Libertarian U.S. Senate candidate in New Mexico supported raising Social Security’s retirement age ... to 72.
(Currently the minimum age for full benefits is in the process of rising to 67.)

Marg Elliston, the chairwoman of the state’s Democratic Party, slammed the stance, noting that Johnson, 65, receives $17,760 a year from a state pension fund, according to his personal financial disclosure.

It is not especially surprising that Johnson, whose fiscal policies resemble those of a conservative Republican, would back raising the retirement age. In the same interview in which he discussed Social Security, he endorsed eliminating the federal income tax and “devolving” the federal Medicare and Medicaid to the states.

But Johnson’s Senate campaign website does not include any information about his stances on Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid.
