Senate boosts social security with amendments delay risk
Washington reports the Senate added many amendments to a Social Security bill, prompting House Ways and Means chair Rep Al Ullman to urge stripping amendments and passing a two step increase. Both chambers seek 11 percent rises, with timing differing. Senate plans seven percent now and four percent in July, House seven percent in April and four percent in July amidst proposals like a cash work bonus and drug costs sharing. The wage base would rise to $13,200 to fund the expansion.
