Boehner on Payroll Tax Cut Deal: 'Our Members Waged a Good Fight'

Описание: House Speaker John Boehner announced late Thursday that he reached agreement with the Senate to pass an extension of the payroll tax cut before its Dec. 31 expiration date.

Boehner said he expects to pass a new bill by Christmas that would renew the break for two months while congressional negotiators negotiate a longer-term measure to extend jobless benefits for millions and keep doctors from facing a large cut in Medicare payments.
