His tax cuts expired in 2011, so he wanted to raise your taxes in 2011.
That is exactly how this payroll tax is being characterized.
And Bush was trying to make them permenant. It's the Democrats who insisted that they expire. You can't insist that they expire and than whine about President Bush making them expire when he didn't want them to.
Compromise is a funny thing. it totally sucks most of the time.
Bush was cutting taxes at a time when raising taxes was the right thing to do.
No, he was spending more money at a time spending less would have been more helpful. Of course all of that was made much worse by Obama.
