Republicans’ Bid to Extend Tax Cut May Shift Blame to Democrats

Now that the holiday season is over, here we go again. U.S. House Republican leaders proposed to vote this week to extend a payroll-tax cut that may move blame back in the direction of Democrats if they don't go for it. This can about after Republicans dropped their demand for spending cuts to offset the lost tax revenue through renewing the cut. However, overall discussions on cutting spending continues to go on separate of the payroll tax cut proposal. A move will have to be made before February 29th when it expires.
