Hard to see the political upside of a payroll tax cut/suspension for Trump now. Itll take months to show much if any impact; it lacks support from his own party; it hands Dems an easy weapon to say hes imperiling Social Security while hes already in the penalty box w/ seniors.
NEW: Pelosi and Schumer issue a joint statement dismissing Trumps executive orders as unworkable, weak and narrow policy announcements to slash the unemployment benefits that millions desperately need and endanger seniors Social Security and Medicare.
