I figured that Obama’s idea was to let people get used to paying less so that, as you say, they would scream if it goes back up and this is intended to ultimately eliminate at least the employee part of the SS and Med tax. This would pave the way to make SS means tested. If people are not having any tax deducted that is earmarked for SS then they lose the argument against means testing.
