How is it not being entirely genuine in their objections to basically point out that this ridiculous proposed two-month extension is, as you put it a Pain in the a**? and a payroll and accounting nightmare?

What the terms “Pain in the a**?” and “payroll and accounting nightmare” mean is that the private sector businesses will have to absorb or pass on the costs associated with a payroll and accounting nightmare, so that the democrats can play their stupid political games that we all see through.

Thanks freespirited.

Not voting in favor of the extension is the same thing as voting for a tax increase.

Boehner’s screwing the pooch on this one.

Let’s look at this for a minute:

If the extension hadn’t been passed, they’d have had to change the rates January 1. If the full year extension had been passed, they’d have had to drop their plans to revert back on Jan 1, and continue the current rate. With the partial term, the rate change comes in March. So, why is it possible for them to change rates in January, but impossible to do it in March? This just sounds like a manufactured excuse to get the full year extension.

I really don’t know. How does a 2 month extension kill the pipeline? Oboma can kill it any time he wants. He has the option to do so.

It doesn’t force him to make a decision, yea or neigh, so it effectively lets him kill the project through endless delays, as is the current policy. If during all the delays, Canada decides to sell to China then we lose the oil and the jobs.

Maybe so but that's not obviously true. Doesn't either of the current bills give him 60 days to make a decision up or down? When the 60 days is up we want a decision. If he signs the bill he commits to that schedule.

What am I missing?
