SS Reform is Tax Reform?
In public speeches and private meetings, House Ways and Means Chairman Bill Thomas has made it clear that he sees the current Social Security debate as a broader opportunity to address national retirement savings as a whole. Somewhere in the near future, we can expect the chairman to begin pushing for pension simplification similar to the president's ERSA, LSA and RSA plans.
With the postponed tax reform commission's recommendations coming in the near future, one has to wonder how long we'll go before Social Security reform and tax reform become the same issue.
