For example, any proposal offere.d will cut traditional benefits for younger workers. to help fund the future shortfall. Also, the administration must identify $800 billion to $2 trillion over I 0 years to continue funding retirees benefits once the payroll taxes are diverted into.accounts. Undet the maip ·plan offered ' by Bush's commission, promised benefits would be cut almost in half for some younger workers, with reductions ranging from 0.9 percent to 45.9 percent. Investments in the personal accounts are ·counted on to niake up the loss in income. Cuts would occur by changing the formula used to calculate benefits. Growth 'in benefits would be slowed dramatically by tying them to inflation rates instead of wages. ' . The r~te of inflation grow~ ·more slowly than wages over a person's lifetime. · For example, a person retire ing at age 65 in 2012 with an annual income of $35,277 is promised $1,194 in monthly benefits, in 200 I dollars, If the .formula is changed, th~ monthly benefit would be reduced by 0.9 percent to about $1 , 183 per month. The younger the worker, the more dramatic. the cuts. For a person retiring at age 75 in 2075, the monthly promised benefit of $2,032 would be cut by 45.9 percent to $1 ,099 a month. Investments in the per- · sonal account would be expected to make up the difference. "Drastic' benefit cuts and the false pro'mise of private accounts are recipes for disaster," ~aid House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. "Republicans keep saying that Social Sec·urity won't be there for ioday's workers - and if they get their way, they'll be right. The Republican proposals put forth so far ·do not make Social Security stronger. They make it weaker."
