Here are today’s headlines from the Kansas congressional delegation:Rep. Dennis Moore (D) !(Pueblo Chieftain) Salazar’s Social Security bill would block private accounts: Two years ago, President Bush stumped across the country urging the public to consider privatizing Social Security as a way to give retirees more return on their contributions and to avoid future shortfalls in the federal benefit system. At the time, U.S. Rep. John Salazar, D-Colo., sponsored legislation to prevent that, speaking for many Democrats in saying private accounts would divert needed money away from the Social Security trust funds and force a cut in benefits to current retirees. With the Republicans in control of Congress, Salazar’s legislation was more a statement of philosophy than anything else. Salazar is back this year, joining with Rep. Dennis Moore, D-Kan., in sponsoring legislation that would block any Social Security contributions from being used to create private accounts. With Democrats in the majority, the legislation stands a much greater chance of being passed by the House and Senate. The Salazar-Moore bill goes a step further, as well, and would prevent either the White House, Congress or federal agencies from using Social Security contributions as an accounting gimmick to cover the size of the federal deficit in budget reports.Sen. Pat Roberts (R)!(Salina Journal) Roberts aims to help military families find homes close to post: In announcing introduction of a bill intended to help military families qualify for low-income housing, Sen. Pat Roberts said Monday that some Fort Riley families “are forced to live further and further away from the post, some as far away as Salina and Topeka.” The bill Roberts introduced Monday would remove the “basic allowances” paid to enlisted military personnel from the calculation used to determine eligibility for federal low-income housing.
