Of course this debate has been going on for awhile, and Noem is starting to show her true colors, now that I have been elected to heck with my constituents;
WASHINGTON — President Obama and Senate Democrats appealed to House Republicans on Wednesday to return to Washington and approve a two-month extension of Social Security payroll taxes and unemployment benefits before they expire Dec. 31.
House Republicans resisted those pleas, instead calling on the Senate, which already approved the two-month deal, to negotiate a one-year extension.
The $33 billion, two-month plan extends a payroll tax cut for 160 million American workers, benefits for the long-term unemployed and Medicare payments for doctors. Barring any action by Congress, Social Security payroll taxes will go up almost $20 a week for a worker making a $50,000 salary — that’s $40 less for a typical paycheck or $1,000 over the whole year.
Oh, but we need to keep the tax cuts in place for millionaires and billionaires so they can create jobs . . .
