will be looking at a third year with no effing COLA.
This whole thing looks fishy. How can anyone claim that SS has no impact on the deficit and on the other hand make a statement that $67 billion in general revenue has been transferred to the trust fund?
They're paying for this "payroll tax holiday" with general tax revenues which will indeed increase the deficit.
I have no objection to this, the government has used the trust fund as its personal piggy bank for decades. But they should at least be honest about it.
