In an effort to gain support for the payroll tax cut extension, the Obama administration launched a Twitter campaign using the hashtag #40dollars that asks what people can buy with the additional amount every paycheck. The amount is the weekly average that Americans would save under the current payroll tax cut bill and would affect about 160 million Americans. On Tuesday, the House rejected a Senate compromise that would have expanded the tax cut for 2 months.

maybe we should start a tage #480Dollars ....
Its just delaying the tax.
SS has to be paid out (or go into default) so taxes that are not collected today have to be made up for later, one way or another...
I’d use it to support any candidate that intends to run against him.
How 'bout it, huh? That would REALLY paint Republicans into a corner, wouldn't it?
What an anus.
I’d buy a muffler.
Great answer.
That was my reply as well ...
I would join with other like-minded people and raise cash for a billboard that says Obama is a communist coward.
My question would have been “what could we do with the $4 million being pissed away on someone’s Hawaiian vacation right now?”
nothing. I have to give $20 of it to some asshat in washdc under threat of violence so he an give $12 of it to slack-ass crack heads that are too lazy and completely lacking in skills to get a job
of the remaining $20, I have to spend $10 to pay for my mortgage... which also pays for those people refusing to pay their mortgage, yet the bank hasn’t taken their property... in over 2 years
of the final $10, I use $8 to get some crappy sandwich and $2 to pay for 1/2 a gallon of gas
thanks numb nuts... you’re doing a superior job
Ha! That was my very first thought as well!

I was going to post that I would contribute it to a
Impeach Obama fund.
Well - I certainly wouldn’t buy a $41 chew toy for the dog from PetSmart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would use my $40 to pay any attorney who could put nobama behind bars.
I’d donate it to obozo’s opposition.
Is that you R, Lee?
I would donate the $40 to whever the Republican candidate is who was NOT picked for us by the Democrats and follow-like-a-puppy media. Or maybe donate $40 for whoever is working to throw a major monkey wrench into the $1B Chicago-based AstroTurf Factory run by Dave and Bob.
...or a box of medium grade cigars, on sale....
...or a nice big bottle of Crown Royal.
That said, considering I'm self-employed (and pay both "halves") for me, this is much ado about nuttin!
$40 every week means you’re making $2000 a week or over $100,000 a year. So $40 stolen from the SS fund sends you into poverty mode??
