Please explain to me how the “Fiscal Cliff Deal” is such a good thing for the average American when 80% of us will see at least a $1000/year increase in withholding.
Pay check to pay check is how most Americans live. This increased withholding will be felt immediately by most of us.

IF you want Social Security to still be there, then that pain you feel is necessary. Bottom line was that Obama was STUPID to have reduced witholding on Social Security as an “economic stimulus.” With Social Security being on shaky ground, it is foolish to think that a continued reduced witholding was anything but folly.
The reduction of your witholding was ridiculous to begin with, considering Soc Security is going broke. It was a political feel-good move by Ostinko and obviously was never going to remain in place for the long term. It served its purpose to help get Barky reelected.
BTW, your employer OTOH, never had his share of your witholdings reduced. Your employer has paid the full measure of your witholdings, paycheck after paycheck, all the while you enjoyed your reduction.

easy, you will now feel better because more of your hard earned money will be used to BAIL OUT WALL STREET and BANKERS, thereby saving the economy temporarily from their Lies, Fraud and Theft.
The withholding feature was a typcial democrat issue LOST on the messaged of republicans - that money was ROBBED from Social Security - but not one darn republican said a word about this raid on social security. The old people should have been crazed to know that Pelosi, Reid and Obambi did this to SS without the help of conservatives.
