House Debates Pension Bill For Social Security Boost
House leaders move to pass a Democratic pension bill with higher social security payments and a tax hike. The measure would cut the full retirement age for women to 62 and extend benefits to disabled workers after age 50, funded by a one percentage point rise in the social security tax. If enacted next year, the plan would add 600 million dollars in benefits in year one and lift taxes for about 55 million workers. Senate opposition remains unclear.
