No. Medicare and Soc Security are paid to individuals. Social Security is money you earned, btw.
The funds withheld would be money the cities receive from the Feds for various programs. That money needs to be yanked. The city governments will feel it. For the more corrupt city officials (see Indio, CA), a large chunk of personal income will disappear.
Social Security is not “money you earned.” It’s just another entitlement program like any other. Taxes go in and far more benefits go out than are covered by the tax.
OK, thanks.
Sounds like Federal ‘matching grants’ will be withheld — like when a capital project or education program gets the Feds to “match” what localities agree to contribute in funding. States and municipalities will be left having to ‘fund’ the WHOLE project, in those cases!
