Washington(AP) The Senate Finance Committee wrestled over financing a $9 billion Social Security benefit increase, failing to agree on a tax formula. Chairman Long remained hopeful a formula would emerge and that the measure, with riders, would reach the floor next week. Some senators doubt a vote will occur this year.
