Tax cuts and spending cuts
To the editor:
What is so difficult for Congress to understand about when you are out of money and borrowing $.40 of every dollar spent that you quit spending money? There is proposal to extend the non-payment of Social Security by employees, i.e. tax cuts, and paying for it by borrowing more money. This is like having a tire that loses air and you go the filling station and pull up the air pump, insert your money and inflate your tire only to do it the next day. You still need to fix the tire and when you do all the money spent on that air is wasted. If lowering taxes is what is needed, lower taxes permanently and quit doing it every other year for the short term and leave Social Security alone.
