The Republicans are getting killed on this issue. Of all the issues to stake out your position on, this is the absolute worst thing I can think of.
Obama is getting a big break on this and the Republicans are looking like Scrooge.
Way to make a economic point and at the same time lose the support of the majority of working people.
Political reality is a bitch.
If we don’t get the 12 month extension it’ll be a disaster.
Otherwise people seeing that little extra in their check each week will be thanking us.
Of course the media will do what it can. Some people getting that cut will know where it came from.
I’m not sure why you think the Republicans are getting killed. The House already passed a bill with a 12 month tax cut. The Rat led Senate’s bill only has a two month tax cut, which is nearly impossible for employers to program into their payroll software.
I grant you that message is not getting out because Boehner is an idiot. Things would be much better if Newt were still Speaker.
