How much did the FICA tax cut add to the deficit? |
|
And could that money have been better spent?
I heard a report on the TV (maybe MSNBC)that so far it had added $108 billion to the debt? It's nice to have that extra little amount of money in the paycheck but a $100 billion dollars could have put a lot of people to work.
Why do we keep insisting on taxcuts as the best way to create jobs?

-- except for doctrinaire Republicans -- that they're 'the best way to create jobs'.
They're 'the best way to create jobs that you can get through the legislature as it is presently constituted'.
