Wisconsin Republican congressman Glenn Grothman doesn’t support a recommendation by the Republican Study Committee to increase the retirement age. Grothman, who serves on the committee, says increasing the retirement age would be a mistake. The RSC budget proposes raising that age for those who are not near retirement “to account for increases in life expectancy.” The budget did not provide specifics. The budget also proposes limiting and phasing out auxiliary benefits for “high income earners.”
