That is, indeed, what it was supposed to be.
We used to say that two Supposedtas and a dime would get you a cup of coffee, but that's out of date.
Now, two Supposedtas and five bucks will get you a tall latte mocha with fru fru's on top.
A "Supposedta" is about of the same value as a wuzgonna.
You know, as in "I wuzgonna do those dishes, wuzgonna give you your twenty bucks back, wuzgonna pick up that mess, etc."
Or, the president "wuzgonna" reduce the deficit.
Actually, you called it a tax, which is what it is in reality.
The difference is Medicare and SS can go back to being what they were supposed to be but too many people buy your opinion that a tax is a tax and all money should go into the General Fund. If you operated that way by spending your long term obligations in the short term you would be bankrupt.
