THE VILLAGES, Fla. AP – It’s an urgent issue seemingly on the minds of many in this retiree mecca, if not the entire state of Florida – how to fix Social Security. And voters’ proposed solutions to the tricky problem are just as varied as the stances of the Republican presidential candidates seeking their support.
Jim Minucci, 76, backs Mitt Romney and his idea to gradually raise the age of eligibility for younger workers. “If we continue to spend and take money from Social Security, I think in the long run it’s going to be hurting,” Minucci said as he walked through a town square here to meet his wife for lunch.
