Glad to chow down on it.

I never thought the President would be able to get the toothpaste back in the tube but he may have ended the crazy payroll tax holiday and that is real strengthening of our safety net.

If you notice that money then keep it ever present in your mind and politics that is an important piece of your retirement, a real sacrifice and that you pay triple that. Another quarter directly and two as part of your total compensation cost so protect it like a mother bear would her cubs. Make damn sure that it will be there and expands with time.

Protect that investment!

Thank you Mr. President! If folks learn to value what they put in maybe the program will really be secure and beneficial for generations to come.
