Slower Social Security growth eyed to trim spending
Senators from both parties urged slowing Social Security growth to save money for a 1996 budget. Moynihan proposed using CPI minus one percent for cost of living raises, potentially saving $281 billion over seven years. Clinton opposes Medicare and Medicaid cuts, while Republicans fear tax cuts amid large savings steps. A separate Senate vote defeated restoring $426 million for AmeriCorps from the $809 billion appropriations bill, part of broader housing and environmental program changes.
