House approves social security tax freeze for two years
The House passed a measure to freeze the social security payroll tax at 1 percent for two years. If Senate and President approval follow, the move blocks an automatic annual increase of about 2.06 billion dollars starting January 1. The bill also provides steps for increases in 1950 and 1957, with future rates rising to 1.5 and 2 percent respectively, instead of a planned climb to 2.5 percent. The current tax yields roughly 1.4 billion annually for the social security program.
