This headline is so screwed up

And so is the story

‘Consumer Spending Plummets After Payroll Tax Increase’

“When President Barack Obama and Congress agreed to increase the federal payroll tax by two percent to temporarily avert the so-called fiscal cliff in January, Americans were left with less money to spend.”

(There was no “federal payroll tax increase.” The payroll tax holiday was a temporary measure. For the period of the holiday, no one paid Social Security. Clueless are those who bitch and moan about the sudden 2 percent “tax increase.” )
