WASHINGTON — With members of both parties expressing distaste at some of the particulars, Congress on Friday voted to extend payroll tax cuts and unemployment benefits and sent the legislation to President Obama, ending a contentious political and policy fight

The vote in the House was 293 to 132 with Democrats, who are in the minority, carrying the proposal over the top with the acquiescence of almost as many Republicans. The Senate followed within minutes and approved the measure on a vote of 60 to 36. New York Times

Of course we cannot find any money anywhere to cut so the Payroll Tax Cuts can be extended. Billions wasted, but none for me and thee.

The Senate rejected two different plans for extending the payroll tax holiday for another year, and it mostly went along party lines. At the bottom of it all was the usual discussion we’ve been seeing on every spending issue for some time now: whether to pay for it and how to do so if they would.H/T: Hot Air

 First, Republicans defeated Obama’s plan to extend the payroll tax cut through the end of next year while also making it more generous for workers.

In a surprising result, Democrats and more than two dozen Republicans voted 78-20 to kill the $120 billion GOP alternative that would have simply extended the existing 2 percentage point payroll tax cut, financed by freezing federal workers’ pay through 2015 and reducing the government bureaucracy.

Obama: My kids will succeed, even if USA doesn’t

It sure sounds like Zero is getting out there on the fringe. Does he really hear how he sounds?What does the world thinks when they hear this? This is what happens when he goes off the Teleprompter. His children go to the most elite school, and forces the rest of us to bow to the unions and require for the most part, a sub-standard, propagandized inferior education for our kids.  While he would destroy that which is the best of America, his girls will be fine either way. Isn’t it great to be President? Why this just gives me the tingles.

President Obama believes that Republican leadership of the country would ruin the United States as a land of opportunity, but he’s (justifiably) confident that his daughters will have plenty of opportunities, no matter what.

“Our kids are going to be fine,” Obama told supporters at a campaign event last night. “[T]hey’re on a path that is going to be successful, even if the country as a whole is not successful. But that’s not our vision of America. I don’t want an America where my kids are living behind walls and gates, and can’t feel a part of a country that is giving everybody a shot.” Full story at Washington Examiner
