Reply #10: So is the money coming from the magical unlimited purse?

Methinks this is just a stupid way to run a government. We, as citizens have the responsibility to pay our fair share, including in payroll taxes so that Social Security doesn't come out of an amorphous "other" (which will never, ever, be the military budget - something I could get behind!). I think it's pandering to the shrinking middle class (at a cost to us all) to get votes. It isn't fiscally responsible.
