Budget Hopes Linked To SS Budget
Washington sources say White House and Congress negotiators rely on a Social Security study commission to propose enough cuts to drop the 1983 deficit below 100 billion. The current worksheet shows a 95 to 99 billion deficit, including 10 billion in unspecified Social Security cuts, with 1984 cuts projected at 16 to 18 billion and 12 to 16 billion for later years.
