President Barack Obama called on House Republicans to bring the Senate-approved, payroll tax-cut extension to a vote after the House passed a resolution disapproving of the Senate bill. The House had called on the Senate to return to the Capitol to work out their differences.
The Democratic-controlled Senate on Saturday passed a two-month extension of the tax cuts, which affects about 160 million Americans and is worth about $1,000 to the average American. But the Republican-controlled House on Monday night called off a scheduled vote on the Senate bill and instead on Tuesday passed a resolution along party lines that called on senators to return from their holiday recess to work out their differences in a conference committee.
House Speaker John Boehner said Republicans insist on a yearlong extension and that anything less is “kicking the can down the road.”
Senate Democratic leadership aides told CNN on Tuesday that Democrats have no intention of returning to Washington until the House votes on the bill they passed with wide bipartisan support.
