I still don't understand why the Republican leadership thinks continuing a "payroll tax holiday" is a good idea. It's a big trap being set by the democRATS and their freinds in the Party Propaganda Ministry.

I'm not in favor of raising taxes. However, "payroll taxes" are actually the funding source for Social Security and Medicare. As soon as Republicans through a Republican controlled House of Representatives cut funding to the mythical "Social Security Trust Fund," they will own the whole sorry mess. At that point, Republicans will be responsible fully responsible for that system going broke.

The Party Propaganda Ministry has probably already written all the stories about how "Social Security would have been safe for a decade if only the Republicans hadn't cut off funding by giving tax cuts to their friends." They are just waiting for the opportunity to publish their garbage to support the Democrats in the next election.

I read the whole thing.

It is refreshing to see adults at work, in contrast to the lunatics occupying the White House.
