Glad we are hitting up the Indian Hearing but after it's over I think we should really amp up our message to those involved in finding sources of funding to compensate extending the payroll tax cuts.

Quote:
Tensions over the payroll tax extension escalated in Congress on Tuesday as lawmakers waded into the most contentious — and vexing — issue of all: how to pay for the $160 billion package.
We need to pitch this to Democrats...
Quote:
Camp, a lead Republican in the payroll talks, challenged Democrats to pitch their own ideas for how to pay for the package, since they rejected the Republicans’ proposals.
And we especially need to pitch this to Republicans who want alternatives to increasing taxes on the wealthy...
Quote:
“Everything boils down to more taxes with the Democrats,” said Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), another conferee. “I’m beginning to ask myself the question, is this a serious effort to find a way to extend the payroll tax holiday and unemployment insurance, or is it just a way to say no and keep beating up on millionaires and billionaires?”
