Social Security Increase Faned to Aid Economy
Congress passed an 10 percent across-the-board increase in Social Security benefits for 26 million recipients retroactive to January 1, tied to a record 85 billion dollar debt limit rise to 430 billion. Nixon prepared to sign as economy languished, with experts predicting broader cash flow and a shift in savings. The administration hopes the boost, delayed to June for checks, will spark consumer spending and support a 9 percent output rise, while the Fed resists rapid money-supply expansion.
