He notes Gysi’s call for independence from Soviet dictates and Western analysts’ interest in Moiseyev’s view on Moscow’s military stance amidst Gorbachev era defense cuts. NATO says its forces remain minimal for defense.

Moynihan proposes phased payroll tax cuts on Social Security
The plan would cut the payroll tax by 0.14 percent now and 0.96 percent next January, with further cuts planned in 2015 to spark growth. It would shrink the Social Security surplus and raise the federal deficit, drawing criticism for shifting costs to future generations while supporters cite tax relief and economic stimulus. White House aides dismissed the idea, defending the system as sound.
