We need to look at the long view, not just your own pay checks.
The payroll tax cuts may help now, but they will hurt on the long run when it come time to pay out.
The tax cut is a subtle device for an edge to help destroy Social Security and Medicare. Why do you think they were set up to be separately funded and not part of the general fund in any way? So Congress would not be involved in the operating funds come budget time.
