What is it with Congress? The president and Senate wanted a one-year extension on the payroll tax. But then the Senate sends the House a two-month extension on the tax. So we have the political games to see who can blink first and embarrass their party.

To give some relief to the American people, the House blinked first and gave in to a two-month extension. That is like a company telling their employees we will hire you for two months. We will tell you in 60 days if we are going to keep you on for another two months. How can employees plan their lives on that kind of idiotic logic?

It is time Congress and the president act like big boys and girls, and quite jerking around the American people with their stupid gamesmanship. It is not about the political party, it is about building our county into a strong free enterprise county that can continue to be an example and leader to the free world.
