Inflation steadies as social security pays rise
Congress approved automatic social security increases of at least three percent to match inflation and raised the tax to 5.85 percent split by worker and employer. For a $10,800 yearly earner the combined tax totals $1,263.60 annually, with the base rising to $12,000 in 1974. A looming $30 billion deficit signals inflation persistence and tighter savings for workers as the sliding scale shifts costs higher.
