Commentary on Social Security minimum benefits reform
In the August 18 1981 Ottawa Herald handout the writer cites Rep Bob Whittaker arguing minimum benefits were shifted away from need. He notes 3 million receive minimums, with 450000 also getting federal pensions averaging 16000 dollars, plus 50000 with retired spouses on pensions. He estimates 300000 truly needy, urging Congress to restore focus and remove nonentitled funds from general revenues, not the trust funds.
