A few of the fundamental changes made by this particular bill in the present Social Security system are worthy of mention. ‘The $47 billion reserve fund to be established under the terms of the original act has been one of the major points of criticism by the Minority, and it has been repeatedly pointed out to the people that the fund was actuâ€" ally being used to finance the curâ€" the tax rate possible For four years this has been an issue between a.m.m.u'fi-uw. This week the Majority has abandoned its "reserve fund method" and has mecepted the Minority plan for its Thus the bill not only provides for the elimination of the "reserve fund" but also continues the 1% tax rate on employers and employees inâ€" un plan, automatically go into effect next year. In fact, the bill provides for a continuation of the 1% rate for the next three years. As a result of the postponement of the tax increase as long recomâ€" mended by the Minority, it is estimâ€" ated that employers and employees will save $275 million . annually. Such an annual saving in taxes will undoubtedly be a relief to business, In Heu of the "reserve fund meâ€" thod" the Minority proposed the soâ€" called "payâ€"asâ€"youâ€"go" plan, conâ€" mdi&dnt such a plan would make scheduled increase in the payâ€"roll taxes unnecessary, as well At the same time, however, due credit should be given to the Repubâ€" lican Minority in Congress for the ’.rtitluyhndhhrhfim the improvements of the The Minority always has a dual funcâ€" tion in our system of government: to oppose and to propose.

And these improveâ€" ments of the Social Security Act constitute an outstanding example of what a Minority opposition can accomplish. In its role of critic it has served to focus public attention on defects and errors, and in the inâ€" stence of the Social Security Act amendments Minority proposals are being adopted. It is a conspicuous example of the importance of a balâ€" ported this perfecting bill, as well as in the House:as a whole, it is a fair statement that these changes in the etisting law, however desirâ€" able, would probably not be made without Administration sponsorship. Since the Social Security Act was placed on the statute books on Auâ€" gust 14, 1985, no less than 90 amending bills have been introduced in the House; but it has required this Administration support before eny action could be obtained, This Week in Washington By Cene Renslow P.
