Obama’s jobs bill will just make things worse Re: “Obama’s tax hike Trojan horse,” Sept. 19

President Obama’s Jobs Act should not be taken seriously. No less than $240 billion (or 54 percent) of its $447 billion price tag is a one-year, 50 percent cut in payroll taxes. This simply worsens the financial condition of Social Security, the only safety net for American workers, for no net gain in jobs.
