US H of R: The Republican controlled House of Representatives has rejected the two month payroll extension agreed by the US Senate and passed it call for a year, the vote was 229 to 193 in favour. It will be interesting folks to see how the public react to this vote, the Republicans want a year extension, the Democrats only wanted two months. One can see the left wing spin already, the Republican only care about the rich, they are willing to see the Middle Class get a tax hike. But the ball is NOW in Democratic court, they must be hopping that the public turn against the Republicans, and not see that the Democrats are using the tax cut as a political weapon. Lets see who flinches first folks, this was not a good idea by the Republicans, never give your opposition something to hit you over the head with over the Christmas period.
