7. Ending the holiday...

Is a massive loss of disposable income for those working at America's largest employers. Perhaps not in raw dollars -- they don't see many of those anyway -- but as percentage of their income. We permanently extended the 'temporary' tax cut on those earning tens of thousands a month, and shanked the temporary tax cut for the poorest Americans. Good trade there -- if you are wealthy.

The truly sad thing is that we are ending this holiday and going back to collecting the cash, but once chained CPI goes through (now that it is Democrats proposing it, it will) by the time those same workers retire their benefit wont be worth anything.
