Chamber of Commerce backs pay as you go Social Security plan
A U S Chamber of Commerce committee urged Social Security to operate on a pay as you go basis with a contingent reserve, aligning with Morgenthau's tax and reserve ideas. The report proposes accelerating Old Age Benefits to 1940, widow and child provisions, and keeping overall program costs near 10 percent of payroll. It notes current taxation and reserve levels would deflate the economy.
