Braley and Ernst clash over Social Security in Iowa
In Davenport during 2014 campaign activity Democratic Senate hopeful Bruce Braley attacked rival Joni Ernst over private accounts and long term solvency while seeking Alliance for Retired Americans backing. He urged wage increases and removing payroll tax cap to stabilize Social Security with Democrats warning of benefit cuts if private accounts advance. Ernst says she only considers private options and rejected Braley’s accusations. The Social Security and Medicare trust funds face funding gaps with projections delaying solvency into 2033 for Social Security and 2030 for Medicare health program.
