Flak Awaits SS Rescue Plan Faces Senate Panel
Senate Finance Committee opens hearings on a bipartisan Social Security rescue plan drafted by the National Commission. Some members gripe before work begins as House Ways and Means moves toward drafting legislation. Svahn's actuaries adjust the plan's seven year savings to 164.6 billion, down from 168 billion, and warn of a lower reserve in trust funds. Critics in the GOP oppose higher taxes and special-interest changes. Senator Dole backs the bailout, while Senator Armstrong criticizes tax increases and hints at possible amendments. Other Republicans condemn the commission plan, with some projecting lobbying to steer changes. The plan raises payroll taxes, delays COLA increases, taxes some retirees, and includes federal workers under Social Security.
