House Votes to Extend Payroll Tax Cut

February 17, 2012
The House of Representatives on Friday passed legislation to extend a tax cut for 160 million workers through December and continue long-term unemployment benefits, giving President Barack Obama a major victory.  The legislation, which would add $100 billion to the U.S. deficit and is aimed at further stimulating the economy, was approved by a vote of 293-132.  It next goes to the Senate, where it's expected to pass later in the day.  [Reuters, 2/17/12]
