Social Security Bill Laws Faces Hurdles in Congress
Washington AP reports Congress struggles with amendments delaying action on a major Social Security tax increase. Senate and House conferees, meeting separately, remain far apart with only an estimated one chance in five of reaching a deal today. Any approved plan would raise payroll taxes for about 107 million Americans and could triple taxes for some workers over a decade as the system faces deficits. The program, paying benefits to $3 million monthly recipients, is strained by unemployment and inflation. Leaders aim to repair finances before the 1978 election year.
