18. I have no doubt that this is intended as a poison pill.
Up until now, Social Security has not contributed a dime to the deficit. Never again will we able to say that. The stimulus effect of the PTH could just as easily be achieved by mailing out a check or giving a tax credit to every taxpayer. The fact that Obama and the Republicans chose the PTH instead indicates to me that there are other motives behind it. Obama's public statements about Social Security ("All options are on the table") offer no encouragement either.
