Republicans plan to skip town tonight without voting for the payroll tax cut extension.
Failure to extend the payroll tax cut would mean a $1,000 tax hike for the average American family. Economists say it could also cost between 400,000 and 1 million American jobs.
And get this: according to Politico, in a closed-door meeting Speaker Boehner told the Republican House caucus that extending the payroll tax cut and helping Americans pay their bills is “chicken shi--.”
That’s the kind of reckless attitude that got our economy in trouble in the first place.
