PA-10: Payroll tax holiday: Perry sticks by Trump, DePasquale aims to yoke him to it

U.S. Rep. Scott Perry’s support of President Donald Trump’s payroll tax holiday has become key point of attack for his Democratic opponent in the race for the 10th Congressional District.

Democrats such as Perry's challenger, state Auditor General Eugene DePasquale, have insisted Trump's tax holiday would hamstring Social Security and Medicare. But the Carroll Township Republican maintains it was a vital step to keep money in Americans' pockets.

"A key to ensuring the future solvency of Social Security and Medicare is building and maintaining a strong economy that allows for a robust workforce to support our neighbors and Seniors," Perry said in a statement.
