Social Security plan faces political risk in Congress
A proposed temporary tax cut for 132 million workers and 6 million businesses aims to boost the economy by funding Social Security benefits. The Senate shows support, but the House resists, citing a potential $30 billion deficit impact. Moynihan argues the cut is needed to restore worker confidence in Social Security’s funding. The plan would gradually reduce taxes over 25 years, with a claimed growth boost of up to 1 million jobs.
