Steve disagrees with Obama temporarily cutting the SS contribution to stimulate the economy. I don't. I think it was the right thing to do, given that the (R)'s aren't going to allow ANY more direct stimulus. It was a thing Obama could do that would put more money in the hands of those who PAY SS, the people who WORK for a living, who will SPEND that money and stimulate the economy. It was superior to just cutting income tax because it went entirely to people who WORK and pay the SS tax.

I think it was a great move by the president. A way to work around the obstructive (R)'s, and help the people who need help.
