Let me see if I have this straight, Social Security is in somewhat dire fiscal straits and is currently scheduled to go broke sometime in the next (varying with whose estimating) 10, 20, or 30 years. We currently have a payroll tax cut and the President wants to cut payroll taxes even more. Does anyone else have a problem with the math???

I mean how can you cut the only source of funding for a program already destined to go broke and not accelerate its demise?

Did I just step into an alternate universe of something?

I think what we all have seen was the MOST fiscally sound government program able to take the hit right now and not affect the bond market.
