I prefer the year but I think they should have taken the two months.
It will come up again in 2 months and they can hash it out then and go for an extention.
Loads of drama for nothing.
No they should not have taken the two months. A two month extension on the cut is useless to the economy at large. The whole idea behind this bill is supposedly to help the economy. To get businesses reinvesting and hiring. Right now businesses are trying to hoard cash. They're just sitting on it because they don't know what the future holds. They don't know if the economy is going to get better and they don't know what their expenses will be because they don't know what their tax rates will be. No business worth it's salt is going to make a major expansion or hiring decision when all they know is how much their taxes will be for a mere two months and no idea after that.
This is one hell of a spin the democrats with the help of the main stream media have tried to pull. All the headlines are 'house GOP blocks extension of tax cuts'. I guess their banking that the bulk of the nation is stupid and can't see through this. The simple fact is it is the DEMOCRATS trying to avoid committing to long term tax cuts along with the major job booster, the keystone pipeline.
The bottom line is the working middle class receiving the tax cuts NOW are gonna come up short when they get ready to try to retire. Social security will be much poorer when the demoncrats get through handing it out to satisfy their political aspirations. This is one gift horse you should definitely look in the mouth.
Just like its childish to act like I want to rob social security. I'm sick of the constant moving of the goal posts and what is most important. One second it's jobs, than it's the deficit, then it's SS. No matter what dems want to do, the nutters will find something about it that isn't 100% ideal for one of the other "crucial" areas. It's a fucking endless shell game that is beyond played out.
It's a proven fact that the payroll deduction robbed the social security fund of 111 billion dollars last year. An extension would do the same this year. So yes, if you are for it you are in fact robbing the social security fund. So be "sick of it" all you want to. That's the reality of the situation.
Just so we're clear, you are more concerned with Social Security down the road, then with the health of the middle class today.

see above asswipe. It's called having the ability to look beyond your nose.
