Thank goodness. I don’t vote GOP in order for money to be taken out of my paycheck. This lower tax rate for the Social Security Ponzi program should be made PERMANENT. That’ll put more pressure on them to start doing what’s needed: cut gov’t spending.

Right. Any minute now.

Say what? That money is presumably your insurance premium.

If they give in here, theyll give in anywhere. Absolutely disgusting and cowardly.

I think if we each hold our breath, you while waiting for spending cuts and me while waiting for default, I’ll have better odds.

You are falling for the rat trap. The rats have no intention to reduce government spending (except defense). They are absolutely opposed to any entitlement reform except for increasing taxes on the most productive. The rats want to establish the new lower rate as the norm and then increase taxes on the most productive through income and payroll tax surcharges. With 50 percent of voters already paying no federal income taxes (many in this group receive tax welfare), this reduction will just increase demands for more government services because the majority will pay even lower taxes.

?????? This is a moronic policy. Unless you cut benes you can’t cut the funding. This is fiscal recklessness.
