Senate Bill Would Hike Social Security Taxes
The Senate Finance Committee voted to raise Social Security taxes effective next Jan. 1 on workers and employers to fund higher benefits.

The panel also backed increased cash benefits, Medicare extensions, and automatic escalators, with action unlikely on the floor until after the July convention.
