There arc arguments over, hw that tax money is handleei. But there is po sign that the prestint system wjll be changed. The arfhjments will bf outlined briefly here. But, first here is the background. If you’rfc covered by the pension plan, you and your boss each pay yearly one per cent of your salary up to thc first 53.000. That’s » total of two per ctjnt you and your boss pay. The gqv- miinert now i.s collecting yearly about $1,800,006,000 that way. 1 Out of that, it’s paying yearly in pensions and other benefits about $700,000,000, leaving a year ly reserve of around 51,1<X),000,000. Since 1037, when it first star tied collecting 1 this tax. the Social Se curity system has built tip a serve of around $11,700,000, Thc money doesn’t lie idle.

So thc Social Security reserve fund, invested in those government bonds, is earning money. So much tor that for a moment. The government has a debt of $25^.000,000,000. It borrowed by settling bond# to banks, life insurance companies, ^ou and me, and to the Social Se curity reserve fund. On all thc bonds It sold, of course, including bonds sold to thc Social Security reserve fund, (he government must pay interest. So the government has a double .jcb in hahdltng that debt: to pay pri some of the debt while at the ;;unie time paying interest ori it.
