The best one can say for the payroll reprieve is that individuals will better spend the money than the government would.

What nobody is saying is that the less that one pays (due to the "reprieve"), the less that will get credited to ones social security account.

People will be trading their future social security entitlement for cash today.

True. Everybody I tell this too immediately changes the subject and starts blathering stuff like “you idiot. dontcha know there’s no money in your SS “account”!, there is no lockbox! it won’t be there when its time for me to collect it anyway”!, social security is a scam!”

Stuff like that, instead of rationality like you posted.

Considering that I have no faith that I will get anything from Social Security, I would rather have the money today, thank you very much.

Seriously.
