Please note that the payroll tax reduction was a “temporary” thing, pushed for political reasons prior to election.
My honest opinion is that overall the FC bill is good for the middle class who tries to be financially prudent. The spending side was made worse, not better, but hoping GOP will not cave in during the upcoming debt limit debate.
Spending and debt are directly related and relevant. Expiring Bush tax cuts was a bit tangential to spending.
It's not a good bill and we'll never get a good one till we get rid of the E-GOP and replace them ALL with fiscally responsible adults. Or is that an oxymoron for congresspets?!
