Yes, now YOU are entitled to SS benefits without paying the FICA taxes. Yes Virginia their is a free lunch. And lets demand even more since it is obviously free.
And what about the growing deficit (which current SS benefits adds to) making up for the FICA tax cuts ? Since the the freeloaders are being told they ‘paid in’ anyway, you know what they they will say when asked where to get the money for that....Guess,
At a minimum Republicans need to make some demands in return for extending these, keep in mind the REAL TAX CUTS expire in late 2012 after the election. Those are real tax increases.
