       (1) The bipartisan Iraq Study Group recommended that all 
     United States combat brigades not necessary for force 
     protection could be out of Iraq by the first quarter of 2008 
     and that ``the U.S. should not make an open-ended commitment 
     to keep large numbers of American troops deployed in Iraq''.
       (2) On November 15, 2005, the Senate voted 79-19 in support 
     of an amendment stating that ``calendar year 2006 should be a 
     period of significant transition to full Iraqi sovereignty, 
     with Iraqi security forces taking the lead for the security 
     of a free and sovereign Iraq, thereby creating the conditions 
     for the phased redeployment of United States forces from 
     Iraq''.
       (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that 
     the budget of the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2008 
     includes funding for the redeployment of United States 
     military forces from Iraq.

     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.
