At the appropriate place insert the following:

SEC. ___. SOCIAL SECURITY RESTRUCTURING.

(a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
(1) Social Security is the foundation of retirement income
for most Americans;
(2) preserving and strengthening the long term viability of
Social Security is a vital national priority and is essential
for the retirement security of today's working Americans,
current and future retirees, and their families;
(3) Social Security faces significant fiscal and
demographic pressures;
(4) the nonpartisan Office of the Chief Actuary at the
Social Security Administration reports that--
(A) the number of workers paying taxes to support each
Social Security beneficiary has dropped from 16.5 in 1950 to
3.3 in 2006;
(B) within a generation there will be only 2 workers to
support each retiree, which will substantially increase the
financial burden on American workers;
(C) without structural reform, the Social Security system,
beginning in 2017, will pay out more in benefits than the
system will collect in taxes;
(D) without structural reform, the Social Security trust
fund will be exhausted in 2040, and Social Security tax
revenue in 2040 will only cover 74 percent of promised
benefits, and will decrease to 70 percent by 2080;
(E) without structural reform, future Congresses may have
to raise payroll taxes 50 percent over the next 75 years to
pay full benefits on time, resulting in payroll tax rates of
as much as 17.6 percent by 2050 and 18.7 percent by 2080;
(F) without structural reform, Social Security's total cash
shortfall over the next 75 years is estimated to be
$4,600,000,000,000 measured in present value terms; and
(G) absent structural reforms, spending on Social Security
will increase from 4.3 percent of gross domestic product in
2006 to 6.3 percent in 2080; and
(5) the Congressional Budget Office, the General Accounting
Office, the Congressional Research Service, the Chairman of
the Federal Reserve Board, and the President's Commission to
Strengthen Social Security have all warned that failure to
enact fiscally responsible Social Security reform quickly
will result in 1 or more of the following:
(A) Higher tax rates.
(B) Lower Social Security benefit levels.
(C) Increased Federal debt or less spending on other
Federal programs.
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate
that--
(1) the President, Congress, and the American people
including seniors, workers, women, minorities, and disabled
persons should work together at the earliest opportunity to
enact legislation to achieve a solvent and sustainable Social
Security system; and
(2) Social Security reform--
(A) must protect current and near retirees from any changes
to Social Security benefits;
(B) must reduce the pressure on future taxpayers and on
other budgetary priorities;
(C) must provide benefit levels that adequately reflect
individual contributions to the Social Security system; and
(D) must preserve and strengthen the safety net for
vulnerable populations including the disabled and survivors.
(3) The Senate should honor section 13301 of the Budget
Enforcement Act of 1990.
