1. While I have no love of those R idiots...
They're working with a teeny-tiny kernel of truth. Yes, the losses are offset from general funds, but this means that Social Security actually is part of the regular budget. It is contributing to the deficit where it wasn't before. It was more secure when it was kept separate.

I don't know that's any reason not to have the cut or not to extend it, but it's worrisome.
