No shortage of ideas on SS reform debated in Washington
Washington AP reports the Social Security shortfall could hit 200 billion this decade while ideas for reform pour in. The National Commission on Social Security Reform gears up for a marathon session with Heritage Foundation proposing private accounts and other private investments. Benny Aaron of Brookings argues the program does not severely curb private savings and investment. AARP cites penalties for early retirement and backs tax raises on oil alcohol and cigarettes plus trimming the 1980s tax cut. Aaron calls the shortfall modest about 5 to 8 percent of seven year payments. Myers warns it could reach 15 percent of 1980s benefits under pessimistic growth.
