Two Years Ago Republicans Wanted Two-Month Payroll Tax Holiday

If Republicans reject a two-month payroll tax break tonight, which is likely, they’ll be reversing themselves from what they favored in 2009.

How we got from point A to point B is a reflection of the reversal that has occurred, in a short period of time, in the political dynamics of economic recovery.
