CBO Testimony: Using the Chained CPI to Index Social Security, Other Federal Programs, and the Tax Code for Inflation
Congressional Budget Office [CBO] [Opinion] Apr. 18, 2013 "The chained CPI grows more slowly than the traditional CPI does: an average of about 0.25 percentage points more slowly per year over the past decade. As a result, using that measure to index benefit programs would reduce federal spending for Social Security, federal employees' pensions, Medicare, Medicaid, and various other programs.... If all uses of the traditional CPI in mandatory programs and the tax code were switched to the chained CPI starting in calendar year 2014, mandatory spending would be reduced by a total of $216 billion between fiscal years 2014 and 2023, and federal revenues would be increased by $124 billion." |
