6. Just like the "temporary" tax cuts that were supposed to expire at the
end of 2010, but were extended another two years, this "holiday" will never end. If it's expanded to employers and extended, it will never die. Some will say good riddance - a social safety net for doddering old fools, survivors, kids who've lost parents, and disabled people who weren't smart enough to play the market and get rich deserve to live out their life poor.

As for adding the cost to the general fund budget, congress and the President will have to borrow money to fill the hole, which will further damage social security's credibility. Once again, those who detest the idea of a social safety net for old people, widows, orphans and disabled people will be glad to see it go.

This "holiday" isn't the solution to the lack of money working people are experiencing.
