WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Congress early on Saturday handed a measure to spice up Social Safety retirement funds to some retirees who draw public pensions – corresponding to former police and firefighters – which critics warned will additional weaken this system’s funds.

As a substitute of scrapping the present formulation for figuring out retirement advantages for these employees, revisions have been floated, in addition to extra correct communication from the Social Safety Administration on how a lot cash these public sector staff ought to anticipate. 

The Committee for a Accountable Federal Finances, a nonpartisan fiscal assume tank, can also be warning the additional price will have an effect on this system’s future. 

“We are racing to our own fiscal demise,” the group’s president, Maya MacGuineas, mentioned in an announcement.

“It is truly astonishing that at a time when we are just nine years away from the trust fund for the nation’s largest program being completely exhausted, lawmakers are about to consider speeding that up by six months.”

Republican Senator Ted Cruz on the Senate ground on Wednesday mentioned the invoice as written will “throw granny over the cliff”.
