Truman Seeks Major Social Security Expansion Plan
The administration aims to ask Congress for nearly 8 billion dollars in payroll taxes next year to fund a broad social security expansion. It would add health and disability insurance, higher old age benefits, unemployment support, and doctor bill payments, with roughly 6 percent payroll taxes split between workers and employers. The proposal envisions extending coverage to 50 million workers, raising pension levels by at least 50 percent, and establishing federal minimum unemployment standards and health provisions.
