However, from the Republicans' standpoint, two years is perfect.
A GOP-controlled House insures that another extension (or permanence) will be brought up in Sept-Oct 2012.
At which point, the Senate Democrats and the President will be confronted with voting for a tax hike immediately prior to an election.
A two-year extension at this time is the best way to get a long-term extension (or permanence) next time around.
YEP....Obomba would have been better off with 3 years...the economy might have been OKAY....but, it looks like that’s not what he wants...kinda like we know.
