And THERE is the massive social security cut in the bill. Key word: "Defer"

[CousinIT]

11. Uh. THIS one SPECIFICALLY "defers" the employer part of the FICA tax (social security)

It lets corporation "defer" paying their 6.2% share - for TWO YEARS.

EDIT to add: And making up the difference from the general fund subjects this self-funded source to CUTS.

I'm aware of the "pay half by end of 2021 and other half by end of 2022" arrangement. That doesn't mean they'll DO it - likely they'll beg to have the cut made permanent - or at least not have to pay it back.

YOU trust corprats and Republicans? I do NOT.

This is and will remain a nasty huge backdoor CUT to Social Security during a World pandemic, buried in a "stimulus" bill by REPUBLICANS.

Don't be gullible.

And don't be obtuse. OF COURSE IT DOESN'T CUT BENEFITS TODAY. But it will cause cuts to have to be put in place SOONER because the trust fund will lose BILLIONS and not be able to pay full benefits anymore - already slated to happen 2033. With this CUT, it will likely happen much sooner.
