Congress in Stalemate Over Payroll Tax Cut, Unemployment Checks - HUMAN EVENTS
I really cannot imagine the logic that gets you to a position that republicans are the bad guys in this scenario. The republican majority House of Representatives voted to pass a 12 month extension, and the democrat lead Sentate voted on 2 months worth of the same. The Senate then adjourned for the holidays until January 23.
Members of a professional association that process payroll for employers nationwide have argued the 2 month version present many problems for companies that process their own payroll. The formula for deductions would change after February, which will mean payroll clerks will need to the change their systems, possibly delaying payrol checks to employees. There would also be a significant investment of time and money for those payroll processing companies for making system changes and testing them for accuracy.
President Obama called on the republicans to agree to the shorter term bill passed in the Senate, and then blamed them yet again for not cooperating in the legislative process. Is there a logical bone in Barack's body?
