Reply #10: The excuse will be we can not raise taxes now when it expires. It will be

exactly the same story. IMO the one year tax holiday for SS is pure BS. We'll see what we are saying a year from now, but my hunch is the tax holiday will be extended. Also, I guess I'm just missing it, but where are all of the jobs coming from, what industries, what services and why? Suddenly demand is going to soar? Suddenly there will be job availability and skill set matches?

What I see/hear are a bunch of ban-aids trying to prop up a failing system while keeping the wealthy, banksters and corps. happy. Frankly, they don't know what the F to do, but this will keep the monied happy and the rest will weep quietly.
