Newt supports the extension of the payroll tax reduction. Senator Kirk, no conservative, has actually provided the best explanation on why this is not a good idea. He also in the clip below says that we should not be calling it a reduction in the payroll tax, but rather a reduction in the payroll contribution. I wish more Reps would use this against the Dems instead of rolling over and agreeing to it. Kirk destroys the argument about the SS actuary's statement.

“The legislation undermines social security,” he said.

The payroll tax funds Social Security and the loss would be paid back over the next ten years.

Senator Kirk denied the charges by Democrats that he would be raising taxes because it was a “temporary gimmick,” he said. Congress reduced the payroll tax for one year from 6.2% to 4.2%.

THe left is super slick,they have figured out every way shape and form they can to keep destroying the economy/country yet politically(and this is what its all about) look like they are for the little guy and against all the evil wealthy. If our side does not stand up to it a huge hole will be created financially that will become near impossible to climb out of.
