if they cut the payroll tax by 2% and I make just over 100k a year, that benefits me (who doesnt need it) much more than someone who makes 43k.

Stimulus checks - sounds like it will go to people making less than 40K or so a year. Id rather just continue raising the debt and go with stimulus checks vs taking away from Soc Sec even though that would benefit me

Defund or reduce testing - i dont understand this. Dont we want and need rapid testing as a first step towards opening schools back up, being able to contact trace? I think they increase funding for testing not reduce or defund.

I'm 37, I've lived my whole working life under the assumption that I'll never collect social security. I'll be pleasantly surprised if I do. But won't plan it as part of my retirement.

That being said, I think direct cash into taxpayers hands is the better option than a payroll tax cut.

I don't understand defunding testing either. I would need to read more about his reasoning for this. Seems like you could only fund testing less if there was a vaccine readily available.
