The leading House Democrat is charging GOP leaders with backtracking on last year's bipartisan tax-cut deal.

Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday a Republican bill granting states greater flexibility to spend unemployment insurance funds on other things, including tax cuts, undermines December's agreement to extend the George W. Bush-era tax rates for the wealthy.

"In December, the price that had to be paid in order to give unemployment benefits to America's workers was to give tax cuts to the richest people in America," Pelosi said at a press conference in the Capitol. "That happened — but now they want to renege on the other side of it.

"It should never even have been connected," she said, "but it was part of the package, and now they want to renege on that part of the package."
