Agree. But I think he went a long way toward taking the discussion off the table, and thus claiming victory in upcoming budget discussions. If someone from the R side does float a proposal, he can cite the “consensus” tonight and shut it down. Again, just my opinion.

Depends on the proposal. If the proposal is to allow workers to choose to opt out of SS and force employers to put the employer portion in a 401k type plan, then a lot of people will be all for it.
I would be all for the elimination of self-employment taxes. As someone that files a Sch C for a side hobby that has less than 2k of income, that extra tax hurts more than it will help when I retire.
