Miller accuses Joe of name calling in senate race
Sen. Jack Miller of Iowa accuses rival Dick Clark of calling him callous and indifferent over voting for a Social Security earnings limit increase. He notes House gains from 1690 to 2000 and warns a proposed rise to 3000 in committee would cost 600 million and raise taxes. Miller supports higher limits for very low benefits but opposes equal treatment for all beneficiaries.
