Mitt Romney derided President Obama’s call for a payroll tax cut extension as a “band aid” in October. But he came out in favor of the move on Monday as the White House makes a new push to prevent taxes from going up on millions of Americans.
“Look, I don’t like temporary little Band-Aids,” Romney
said earlier. “I want to fundamentally restructure America’s foundation economically.”
On Monday, however, he endorsed the idea.
“I would like to see the payroll tax cut extended because I know that working families are really feeling the pinch right now — middle-class Americans are having a hard time,” he
told radio host Michael Medved.
