Unlike making the other tax rates permanent, neither Democrats nor Republicans favored extending this tax holiday. The Social Security Trust fund went into the red for two years. Extending it would just bring the Social Security shortfall sooner.Oh what a load of horse shit. Everyone knew that the payroll tax HOLIDAY (you know, as in temporary... like a HOLIDAY) would end at the end of the year. What right wing disinformation site is pooping this BS out?
