Barack Obama Speaks On Payroll Tax Cuts, Economy In Kansas

I agree with you that the Bush (now) Obama Tax Cuts should expire, but that isn't what Obama is proposing.

Obama wants an extension of the deal last year when they were due to expire, when Obama added a payroll tax holiday (as well as the extension of unemployme­nt benefits for some).  Republican­s want to make the tax cuts for all (except the payroll tax cuts) permanent, and lose the unemployme­nt benefit extension.

Obama hasn't said a thing about extending unemployme­nt benefits.  To begin with, what was in his deal last year was 'weak tea' for those who had lost their jobs, but now Obama doesn't even come to the table with a full list of demands necessary on behalf of the People.  

This is like 'Groundhog Day', or in the inimitable words of Yankee great Yogi Berra, "It's like deja vu all over again."
