not at all...this is a one sided, left wing shill article from Rooters...read this from, believe it or not, the WaComPost:
some highlights:
Some lawmakers of both parties have expressed concern that extending the payroll tax cut would threaten the solvency of Social Security; GOP leaders say their plan would address those concerns by cutting spending elsewhere in the federal budget and directing those savings to the Social Security Trust Fund.
The GOP proposal also would require those receiving jobless benefits to enroll in a GED program if they have not completed high school, and would allow states to choose whether to make drug testing a requirement for applicants.
On the Keystone pipeline, the Republican proposal would require the Obama administration to make a decision within 60 days on whether to grant a permit. The plan also would include provisions authorizing the government to conduct spectrum auctions and requiring the Environmental Protection Agency to delay regulations governing industrial boiler emissions, a move that House Republicans argue would lead to job creation.
Several elements of Senate Republicans’ payroll tax plan are included in the House GOP proposal, including an extension of the current two-year federal worker pay freeze as well as provisions on means-testing Medicare benefits and eliminating unemployment and food-stamp benefits for the wealthy.
basically the article points out the rats want to keep people stoned, stoopid as well as addicted to entitlements...
if the GOP is smart they bash this over the media head and get the talking points out all weekend...
“if the GOP is smart they bash this over the media head and get the talking points out all weekend...”
