OMG Goofy!  You've outdone yourself with this one.  News flash from LBJ's administration, funds in the SS trust are included in the Federal budget.  It is not in a "lock box" and the SSA has projected that come 2034 they will be paying out more than they will be collecting even without a holiday.  But again, the whole idea is to stimulate the economy and this concept is an excellent one to do so, much better than giving it to unions who then take the money to buy political ads for Democrats.  This idea helps stimulate the economy, helps all those working and creates new jobs for those that want to work....so of course Democrats oppose it.

As for the GOP Senators that are opposed to this, what makes you think that party is immune to economic illiteracy?  The key difference though is that 100% of the Democrats in the House and the Senate are economically illiterate.  So I'd rather be in a party of the minority than the one where they are all stupid.
