"Bachmann said she didn't support the payroll tax cut because "it denied $111 billion to the Social Security trust fund" and "put senior citizens at risk." That's false. The shortfall will be covered by the government's general fund." That's funny.....and you are naive.

Kenny, that's not a real fact check. It seems to be an opinion piece. Reducing the amount of money that goes into the SS trust fund by over $100 billion certainly does put payments to seniors at risk. That is not even debatable. Taking it from another account doesn't change the risk, it just spreads it. And Bachmann is 100% right when she says there isn't one shred of evidence that the payroll tax cut created jobs. If there's evidence, show it. This writer makes no attempt to show a nexus between the cut and job growth. Just cites a few economists who forecast such. But alas, that doesn't disprove Bachmann's assertion. A factless fact check. That's what we've come to expect from the commie media.
