political football

Well i watched the debate last night and heard a  lot of you did did not did so did not going on. I thought to much time was given to Romney and Perry. The others took a back seat to them i thought. Although it was entertaining i didn't hear a lot of substance. And tonight the big speech from Obama. It sounded good and all but the continued cut in the social security tax is just the wrong thing to do. If he wants more money in my paycheck cut the federal payroll tax.  Social security needs every penny it gets. FICA is 6.75% of your paycheck. Your federal tax is higher than that. I hate to see us have to go back and take lessons from the 1930's and create federal workfare that built the interstate highway system, bridges,damns, and other big projects. Or maybe not. When was the last time we had a major construction project like the Hover dam or the Panama Canal. We could definitely use major repair work on our infrastructure.  Hum maybe.
