Congressional aides say House GOP to accept short-term payroll tax cut extension

Just Headlines

[tobyhill]

Well thanks for nothing Senate RINOs!

[Rightly Biased]

sigh

[jimbo123]

[massgopguy]

Great, now every business has to do TWO 1st Quarter Reports!

[Recovering_Democrat]

We must take the Senate next year. We CAN get these RINO jerkoffs in line, folks, if we take it over.

I do think Boehner was right on the issue, but we really have to have more than just one body of the legislature.

Hussein and his cult in the media will continue this behavior if they have ANY power at all. We must crush them in November. Crush them. And then began dismantling the entire damnable apparatus: DOJ, State, HHS, all of it.

And we need to begin to have a REAL "payroll tax" deduction: letting younger workers invest in their own accounts for social security.

[Rightly Biased]

Exactly and do things on excel spreadsheets and make mistakes and then pay the penalties.

but that dad will get to have Pizza and that’s what really matters

[ex-snook]

So what’s the problem with these tax cuts for working people?

[tobyhill]

I think the one concession Boehner may get is a 3 month extension instead of 2.

Gee, pop open the champagne.

[tobyhill]

I think these Senate RINOs are working for Obama’s campaign and doing just enough to keep the GOP from taking the Senate.

[tobyhill]

The problem is that the Senate RINOs should have never allowed anything but the one year extension because now the Rats can play the political card with it every time it comes up for another measly extension.

[longtermmemmory]

those RINOs fear the federal marriage amendment.

[Lib-Lickers 2]

hey the point was made. the issue is now dead, nobody will rememeber this in a month’s time and when they return it will be the Rats on the hotseat

[ex-snook]

“The problem is that the Senate RINOs should have never allowed anything but the one year extension because now the Rats can play the political card with it every time it comes up for another measly extension. “

Then the GOP should now enter a bill for a clean 10 month tax extension.

[boomop1]

Throw them all out.

[Invincibly Ignorant]

Thanx Senate A-holes.

[Principled]

hey the point was made. the issue is now dead, nobody will rememeber this in a month’s time and when they return it will be the Rats on the hotseat

Yep. Hopefully [not holding breath] they'll repeat ad-nauseum that the reason we're in this mess is b/c dems wouldn't agree to a full year.

[No Socialist]

And lucky us, we get to hear about this crap all over again in 2 months. Washington has accomplished nothing in the past year. 2012 is going to be a very long year.

[driftdiver]

Nothings wrong with a tax cut. However doing a payroll cut at this late date is logistically impossible for most businesses to support. Which means the employees wont get the tax cut until the systems can be changed. So the same companies will have to file amendments which costs extra. Of coursr the govt will screw up their side.

I used to have employees in maryland and have been trying to close the account for 2 years. I send letters and they close it. Then send me penalties for not filing. Its a wonderful sysytem.

[chris37]

Boy, I’m sure glad we got the effing GOP! What the **** would we do without them!?

Useless trash.

[chris37]

No, history shows us the republicans will be on the hot seat, and history also shows us they will fold 100% just as fast as they possibly can.
