Furthermore, the stimulus must
include significant direct relief to American workers in the form of
payroll tax cuts and programs to help homeowners keep their homes.
Finally, we need an end game to this stimulus so that when our economy
recovers, these spending programs do not remain permanent and saddle
our children with a skyrocketing national debt.


So the Repigs demand "payroll tax cuts." That's a pretty clever
scam. It means that workers will pay less into Social Security; not
only the workers, but also the employers who are normally required to
pay into the fund along with each employee. The Repig plan is a
reduction in the total amount both the workers and the employers pay
into Social Security.

When you understand how a business works maybe you will understand the
need for a struggling business to cut costs in order to stay afloat.

But the employers get no benefits from the funds, only the workers.
In other words, the Repigs want the stimulus will be financed out of
the Social Security funds being put aside for the workers.

How do you figure? It probably stems from your lack of knowledge of
business.


Considering the already shaky condition of the Social Security fund,
the Repig plan is outrageous. Predictions are that the Social
Security fund will be depleted in just a few years at the present rate
of contributions. Yet people like McCain want to reduce the
contributions even further. The Repigs claim they don't want to
saddle our children with debt. But apparently, they don't mind
spending the money needed in the future for the retirement of the
workers and their children.

President GW Bush was bombarded with criticism by Liberals when he
said Social Security needed to be reformed since his first campaign in
1999. President Bush reiterated his need to reform Social Security in
2006. Pelosi and Reid put out the word: There would be no Democratic
Social Security plan, and no negotiating with Bush as long as he
insisted on privatization. President Bush's plan was not supported by
Democrats, but they did not come up with an alternative.

The Democrats want to maintain the status quo in regards to Social
Security because Congress uses it for their legislative petty cash
box. There are so many Congressional I.O.U.s in the SS trust fund.
Paying back those I.O.U.s will be impossible.

The Democratic Pork bill of 2009 will saddle future generations for
the bailout of government.
