Carter faces uphill battle on Social Security plan
President Carter faces resistance from key congressional Democrats over his Social Security proposals which would raise taxes for most workers and their employers.

Mondale and Califano outlined details to a subcommittee, with Byrd and Baker weighing action to prevent bankruptcy and bolster the fund, set to start affecting taxpayers in 1979 for high earners and later for lower incomes.
