23. Thanks for posting

I'm no economist, have never even taken an economics class and what little I know about it I've learned from the internet.

Having said that--this seems to make sense to me. Raising the cap certainly WOULD hit wages and the people making most of their earnings from capital seem to escape.

What's wrong--really--with taking back the Bush tax cuts and repaying the fund?

It seems so simple but it makes sense. That money came from the fund. Put it back.

I also agree with the political reality of raising that cap. We can't even get health care passed--what are the chances of raising that cap anyway? I'd say slim.

Great post.
