Il y a les démocrates contre les républicains, Obama contre le Congrès, Obama contre Boehner et républicains contre... Républicains! C'est simple, non?
"At a Capitol press conference Monday morning, House Speaker John Boehner told reporters he expects his members will kill the bipartisan, Senate-passed, two-month payroll tax cut bill. Instead he said Republicans will insist that Senate Democrats return to Washington and hash out the differences between that package, and the partisan one-year bill the House GOP passed a week ago.
That’s setting up a new round in the ongoing fight over how to prevent that tax cut — and other expiring policies like emergency unemployment benefits, and reimbursement rates for Medicare physicians — from expiring.
Where we go from here depends on Boehner making good on his threat. To that end House and Senate Democrats, along with key Senate Republicans — who voted for the compromise measure, and whom Boehner is hanging out to dry — are pressing the House GOP to follow through on the deal.
“The House Republicans’ plan to scuttle the deal to help middle-class families is irresponsible and wrong,” reads a statement from Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA). “I appreciate their effort to extend these measures for a full year, but a two-month extension is a good deal when it means we avoid jeopardizing the livelihoods of millions of American families.”"
