44. Which is exactly why selling the payroll tax holiday as a dem principle
Is so horrendously obnoxious.

I read every single link....protecting Social security via a payroll tax holiday???!!??

Oh yes - he stood firmly on Jello as he touted that holiday as being a dem goal. The only way that it might have been a dem goal would of been if it had been paid for via a wealthy surtax - which was quickly taken out, and thus the general fund is left to pay for it. You know - democrats believe in pay as you go.....republicans do not.

Obviously, if the payroll tax holiday had not been brought up in the tax cut sellout, these links might of carried water....but now, they look like sad hypocritical words, even moreso that we are supposed to swallow hard that it is a democratic goal to undermine where Social Security funds come from and somehow the tax sellout was a better "deal" for the democrat's than the republicans, who we all know were the ones who brought it to the table.
