Senate Finance Committee weighs Social Security funding options
Washington AP The Senate Finance Committee meets to decide how to raise funds for Social Security increases approved for seven million beneficiaries. Chairman Long notes the panel will finalize tax changes after a two week drafting period, with a 10 percent benefits boost likely and a push by Mills and Nixon toward a 5 to 20 percent range. The bill links annual cost of living raises to a 3 percent price index rise, and outlines tax base changes from 9,000 to 10,200 while rates shift to 5.4 to 5.65 percent. The current worker tax tops at 468.00, rising to 508.50 next year before the broader top reaches 550.80 under House-passed language.
