"Why is the House at fault? A two month extension is ridiculous. It might as well be a 2 week extension or maybe the WSJ would be happy with a 2 day weekend extension."
Yep. And notice how the report by payroll processors, that a two-month extension would be simply unworkable, has been completely disregarded by the WSJ and everybody slamming the House Republicans?...
Exactly. If it's so important why not make it 6 months or a year? This is nothing more than the rats posturing, as usual.
IMHO, the House should just pass the bill the Senate gave them ASAP and then every GOP Congressman and Senator should say — every chance he gets —
(1) first, that the GOP tried to provide RELIEF to workers for 12 months in the House’s Bill and
(2) second, that the Democrats, by chosing to SHORTEN the period of the relief to just 2 months, have shown they have no interest in helping the middle class — but instead have a lot of interest in playing “dirty tricks” on the middle class.
The Tea Party can help by confronting Democrat Senators at town hall meetings to ask:
“Why did YOU vote to cut the benefits from 12 months to 2 months?”
