This morning, Speaker Pro Tempore Michael Fitzpatrick (R-PA), under orders from Speaker Boehner, refused to allow Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer to speak on the floor and ask for unanimous consent to bring up the Senate bipartisan compromise to extend the payroll tax cut. Whip Hoyer and Congressman Chris Van Hollen are continuing to try to offer the Senate compromise even though Republicans walked off the floor. Once again, Republicans are risking a tax increase on 160 million Americans and the loss unemployment benefits for those who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own.
This should be shown on the street!

This is what the House thinks of you American citizens. Fuck what you need. Was not even ten am and they left! Day over! Try that at your job and see what happens. When will enough be enough?

President Obama - Senators Boxer & Feinstein - Rep. McClintock, I am one of your constituents.
I'm on an unemployment extension and there is a shortage of jobs in our area (along with most). Create Jobs first, then cut benefits! Doing it the other way around is going to put me and my children out on the streets!
I'll take the $40
