The GOP's Payroll Tax Fiasco
How did Republicans manage to lose the tax issue to Obama?.


House Republicans yesterday voted down the Senate's two-month extension of the two-percentage-point payroll tax holiday to 4.2% from 6.2%. They say the short extension makes no economic sense, but then neither does a one-year extension. No employer is going to hire a worker based on such a small and temporary decrease in employment costs, as this year's tax holiday has demonstrated. The entire exercise is political, but Republicans have thoroughly botched the politics.

What I see is, Boehner and the house willing to negotiate and the dems NOT!

I am THAT simple.

FTFY!

what part of NO BILL do YOU not understand?

Have you totally lost your mind? Or is that the best comeback you can think of? Either way, it's pathetic.

You wrote "The Democrat controlled senate." Yet the Republicans in the Senate went along with the Democrats by the tune of 89-10!

the bottom line is this the republicans want to pay for this tax cut by a reduction in the federal workforce and a freeze on pay for bureaucrats? And the Democrats don't even want to talk about that...so they took the ball and went home....and they are doing what they do best, blame others for thier failures.

have you lost your mind?.........the senate voted on a 2 month........the house voted on 1-year...........that is NOT a negotiation...that is saying this is it or we are going on vacation.

I am still waiting how you can dismiss an 89-10 BIPARTISAN vote by calling it a "Democrat controlled senate"

I was just reminding you, in case you forgot.....it still is NOT what the house passed, and when this happens, the two normally get together and work it out, NOT go on vacation........and it is the democrat controlled house, ran by Harry Reid, that is SUPPOSED to make sure his part is represented, not tell them all to have a "merry christmas".............this needs to be done NOW.  But the dems are playing politics, just as the repubs are. 

The ball is in the senates court...and the house repubs are still willing to work.

And I reminded you that prior to the Senate passage that Mitch McConnell was promised by Boehner that he he could the House repugs to go along with the Senate version.

Boehner left McConnell hanging out to dry.

Pay for the tax cut by increasing unemployment AND eliminate cost of living increases for the worker-bees (not bureaucrats)? That's a stupid idea. Far be it for them to fairly tax those who can afford it to pay for the tax cuts.

and YOU are wrong about the problems created by a 2 month extension and then it stops....I have talke to two accountants and both said it would be a nightmare to do just two months, it is NOT just a simple as pushing a couple of buttons....f@#king idiot.
