"Funny how taking less from our paychecks is considered a "handout.""

When it is done by borrowing $400 billion or more a year, it is most definitely a handout. Actually, it is closer to "looting" by any reasonable definition since it is money that will have to be paid sometime in the future. In the meantime, the cost is that it gives that well known democracy China a handle on us.

Or do you think the money just gets "poofed" into existence? They have already started to do that, you know. Which is why inflation is running higher than wage growth. And it only gets worse. I know, I know, you and Tim and the others don't believe it. But it is just simple economics that isn't the voodoo kind...
