Mmmiiilj^elt'imoni In Km^ A Notes^ # recently about the impact of current economic trends on Ike Social Security Trust hats. Two poiats seed to be made: first, the treads themselves have been mixed. If coed, we can assure the Americas peo ple that Social Security brm fits are wot ia jeopardy and will be paid ia the next five yean and over the next fifty yean. ? In the next five yean (the period covered ia the Presi dent's budget), the total pro jected tax receipts to the three payroll tax financed traat funds ? Old-Age and Survi vors. Disability, and Medicare Hospital Insurance - are more than adequate to cover pro jected expenditures. Bat far a variety of reasons, the specific. allocations to each fond are not the best possible ones. Most people think of the payroll tai as one fixed amount. But. in fact, the payroll tax is a combined amount that is divided after collection among the three funds. Current allocations to each of the three funds were set down in the law in 1977. Since then, unforseen factors have changed the projected outcome. The Disability program, for example, is doing better than expected, because of a con tinued lower incidence of disability. The Hospital Insur ance Trust fund has also been building larger reserves than were anticipated. But the Old-Age and Sur vivors program is projected to face short-term difficulties in 1962 primarily because the inflation rate has been'higher than expected, and this trend has not been offset by other, more favorable developments. The Administration is pro posing legislation that will allow the three funds toi borrow from one other, on condition that the loans will not jeopardize the cash po sition of any individual fund, tater-fund borrowing is a device to temporarily reallo cate revenues as needed. Current projections show that the combined trust funds are healthy-that they include adequate reserves. There is nothing remarkable about inter-fund borrowing. It is a logical measure to meet short term requirements. Taxpayers are not affected. Most tax payers are not concerned with how the tax is divided. Over the long haul, the payroll tax increases schedul ed in current law will permit the Old Age and Survivors Trust fund to begin accumu lating larger reserves in the early 1990s right on through the early part of the next century (2010-2015). After that, the fund is projected to be drawn down to meet benefit payments to the baby boom generation. We will of course be making continuing pro jections and will make any necessary changes to take account of larger numbers of retired persons. We have guidance from expert groups about what paths we might take. The 1979 Advisory Council has recently made its recommendations. The National Commission on Social Security, established by the 1977 Amendments, has issued its interim report; the full report is due in January 1981. The President has also named a Commission on Pen sion policy to study these issues. In addition to the expert groups, people all across the country have been giving as their opinions through our national outreach programs of symposia and town meetings. So now is the time for cartful evaluation and sssseamept of Policies will he shaped to reflect the heat alternatives.
