Can this mean that the authors are well aware that this is a job loss proposition and they have arranged to cover SSA losses in advance? I think the answer is yes. And how about that hidden entitlement increasing the Earned Income Credit for single taxpayers with no dependents? Some people are finally reading the fine print and the more they read the tougher the sledding will be in the Senate, 60 votes notwithstanding.
