Obama told Senate Democratic leaders Wednesday that he will stay in town until Congress finishes work on the payroll tax holiday, unemployment benefits and other issues.

By extending the payroll tax cut, funding that feeds the Social Security Trust will continue to be reduced. Why is Obama so intent on depleting the SS funding , but he's not interested in giving middle class tax cuts? Didn't he say a year ago when the payroll tax was reduced it was temporary? Seems like he thinks it needs to be permanent.

As far as his 17-day vacation goes, I can't think of a chief executive less deserving than time off than the slacker-in-chief that occupies the White House occasionally when he's not campaigning or fund raising.

Why do people insist on calling it a ‘payroll’ tax cut. It is a SOCIAL SECURITY tax cut which does exactly as you say, it hastens the day SS runs dry. Republicans have a winning issue if they would just explain to people the tax cut today from less SS taxes just means you will be starving later when SS runs out of cash. Barry is hell bent on destroying this country, and the ‘payroll tax cut’ is just another example.
