Coastal-Boy buried this in an unrelated thread;
[qoute]Given Boehner decided to go back against his word and not pass the payroll tax plan, I'd say there is no reason to have a Federal Govt anymore. Can't even pass a simple piece of legislation that BOTH sides agree must be passed.[/quote]
Firstly it's totally misleading. The house wants to pass the extension for a one year period, the senate bill is only a two month extension. However a casual reading of CB's post would lead one to believe that the house has rejected the payroll tax cut period.
Given the choice between the two bills I would prefer the house version. Employers need certainty when figuring out their years budgets, they don't need to be jacked around every two months or so. It costs them money to adjust their systems and just generally creates an air of uncertainty.
If I had my own choice in the matter I would end the tax break immediately. It does nothing to relieve the burden on employers consequently does nothing to spur employment and it jeopardizes the SS and Medicare fund even more than it already is.
Regardless, the bills will now go to conference where some deal of some sort will be worked out. We don't need any bleating misinformation from the partisans.
