Red State Brigade digs in on campaign to kill the recovery. Demand payroll tax be 'paid for' with

[Bill USA]

with cuts elsewhere in the Budget.

Republicans know they have to counter-act any stimulus to the economy from the payroll cuts by cutting spending elsewhere - thus preventing any additional stimulus to the economy which would only help with the recovery to their Trickle Down - Deregulation Disaster. The Republican Politics of War (on Obama) goes on.

It also suggested that President Barack Obama and Congress would have to find mutually acceptable savings before any extension could become law.
