Yes. Do you think those tax cuts would have been extended if the House was still under the control of the Dems. Do you think a Senate with a veto proof Dem majority would have voted to continue to keep the tax cuts at all?

The GOP failed to get the tax cuts extended for another year, OK, I admit that. But they got them extended two months WITH DEM SUPPORT, and saved them to fight another day, and the Dems will have to fight to repeal tax cuts they just VOTED TO EXTEND.

I don't know what planet you have been on but those FICA tax cuts were initially passed a year ago (December 2010) by a Obama/Democrat super-majority congress and Pelosi House for one year and Obama has been on TV endlessly for months demanding their extension (without spending cuts) calling out Republicans for opposing them, and he will continue the same in two months. Democrats have no intention of letting those lapse until after the election as with the Bush tax cuts.
