I agree a long term permanent tax cut is better. But that takes some time. The checks are an immediate stimulus and that's where their benefit comes in.

The stimulus lasts until the $500 is gone. How long do you think that takes? A tax cut puts more money in your pocket all year. Now that can do something. A one time check is nothing more than a feel good measure.

As far as the GOP having had 6 years to reverse the Clinton tax on SS benefits; they did. Their bill passed in both the House and the Senate (by one vote), but Clinton vetoed the bill in Sept of 1999. So sorry.....but you cannot blame the tax we endure on our SS benefits on ANYONE BUT BILL CLINTON.

I'm talking about AFTER Clinton. You do remember the heady days from 2000-2006 when the GOP-led government did nothing to fix it, right? Not a thing. They could have. They didn't. Just a plain, simple fact. Would have taken them 10 minutes. Why do you suppose they didn't fix it? I know the answer.
