The Payroll-Tax Cut, the Stimulus plans (all of them) and every other broken and discredited idea that has been spoken about or used in the last few years has proven that the the politicians have no clue about anything vaguely related to a solution or even a workable positive idea.
They don't. They are lawyers, narcissists and power hungry simpletons. There is no understanding of the problem, no understanding of long term implications of anything and zero intellectual ability to form a workable solution. Either they are ill-informed, moronic phonies (yes), or anti-American power hungry brainless robots who only care about getting theirs and getting re-elected...unfortunately I think it's all of the above.
The politics of the issue are meaningless, they really are. The Payroll Tax Cut is a terrible, awful and idiotic idea. Just fucking terrible. The very fact that both sides are playing a game with an awful idea that will cripple an already comatose S.S. system should tell you all you need to know. The idea of the Payroll Tax Cut doesn't even make sense, it doesn't even touch the employers side of the equation.....and guess what, I DIDN'T FUCKING WORK AND WON'T WORK.
All of this tit for tat garbage over an idea that is a proven failure and harmful to the nation. 160 billion dollars? Out of a 16 trillion dollar economy? Jesus, my fellow students in my H.S. basic econ. class could have told us this wouldn't work.
Guess what hasn't been argued or discusses or even mentioned by anyone except a few people.................. .an actual solution.
Congress needs to kill themselves.
