This morning, Speaker Pro Tempore Michael Fitzpatrick (R-PA), under orders from Speaker Boehner, refused to allow Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer to speak on the floor and ask for unanimous consent to bring up the Senate bipartisan compromise to extend the payroll tax cut. Whip Hoyer and Congressman Chris Van Hollen are continuing to try to offer the Senate compromise even though Republicans walked off the floor. Once again, Republicans are risking a tax increase on 160 million Americans and the loss unemployment benefits for those who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own.

Please it take two to tango!

The republicans are the ones playing games! They just want to force the Dems into a situation where they have to grant the tax cuts to the 1% in order to keep the cuts for the rest of us. For me, I would rather pay more than see the rich get more corporate welfare!

Why do democrats keep wanting this one year at a time tax rates? That's what should be asked, it's not Republicans who are playing games like this. Why won't the Senate leader bring up a budget that hasn't been passed in 3 years? At least then the two houses could work on a compromise. But no, Democrats just want to play games.

even if the Republicunts did not agree with the bill they could have at least talked about it rather than just walk away without even a discussion.

The worst thing is Paul's hands off govt policies would allow multi national corporations to completely take over. Congress is already close to being completely corporate bought.

@aw4991: No one ever got rich on their own. There are a lot of hard working employees behind them. Time to treat the employees decently.
