House Republican leaders agree to payroll tax holiday extension without offsets
Paul Kane
House Republican leaders said Monday that they will support extending the federal payroll tax holiday through the end of the year without demanding spending cuts to pay for it, a concession aimed at averting another politically damaging showdown in Washington.
The House leadership could offer a pared-down measure to extend the tax cuts later this week. But the top three GOP leaders backed off previous demands that the tax break's extension be accompanied by spending reductions to shore up the finances of the Social Security program, which is funded through withholding taxes.
