So...

The Republicans pass a ONE YEAR tax cut extension in the house...

Which goes to the Senate where THE DEMOCRATS block it and instead pass only a 2 month extension...

and this is the Republicans fault... how?

And why aren’t the Republicans screaming about how Obama is taking funds from social security~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with this ‘tax cut’

Geez Boehner is stupid if he can’t bat this one out of the park. Would someone please give him a clue?

Or please vote him out of office of Speaker.

I think he's secretly terrified that Obama will get angry if he does...

I would agree except then why are the House Repubs wanting an even longer funding cut in SS?

As far as Boehner, he’s damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t. What did everyone here think of his interview on MTP?

The reason they’re not screaming about taking funds from SS is because no funds are being taken from SS — this “tax holiday” is being paid for by other means into SS. That’s why it’s only two months — the clowns in the Senate could only agree on an alternative payment method for 2 months, not a year. And the way to pay for it for a year would be to cut the size of govt, not create an alternative fee on home buyers like they did.
