    Permanently eliminating the payroll tax is an idea worth serious consideration, but getting emergency legislation passed necessarily means moving too quickly to consider any sort of serious long-term planning.https://twitter.com/LawrenceLepard/status/1237502379467177985 …

    Kudlow just said the plan is to eliminate the payroll tax both sides for rest of year and make it permanent. Payroll taxes generate $1.17T per year. So double the deficit. Kudos to reporter who question funding. Kudlow ducked it. Amazing. QE Direct. #Weimar. @LukeGromen

        Never, ever discourage them from lowering taxes.

        The Social Security and unemployment taxes are regressive since they are capped at a fixed dollar of wages.

        The payroll tax is regressive, so there is an argument for eliminating it and raising the income tax instead.

        Does no one care about deficits anymore? Surely the ever rising national debt will one day come back to haunt our country and the generations who come after us.

        I like tax cuts. But I like balanced budgets more. Don't bother offering me one without a plan do address the other.

        Once you remove the payroll tax you will NEVER be able to reimpose. Not at the point of guns.

        Yes, of course. Five easy steps. 1. Have $1 tr tax cut; induce artificial deficit. 2. "Deficits don't matter." 3. D elected Prez; scream "DEFICIT BLOODY MURDER"; shut down government. 4. Rend shirt "WE CANNOT AFFORD SOCIAL SECURITY." 5. R eleccted Prez; call for $1 tr tax cuts.

        I'd be in favor of eliminating the payroll tax permanently if we'd pay for it with tax increases elsewhere, probably some combination of income and corporate taxes. But I'm against any increase in spending or reduction in taxation without realistic pay-fors.

        Yeah, I'm naive that way.
