Waterloo, IA - Rep. Bruce Braley (IA-01) today released the following statement after the US House passed by voice vote a two-month extension of the middle class payroll tax cut:
"Iowans can ill-afford any more of the partisanship that dominated the recent debate over extending the middle class tax cut. This tax cut is just too important to job growth and our economic recovery.
"Thankfully, common sense has finally prevailed and the middle class tax cut will be extended for two months. Congress must now act to extend the middle class tax cut for a full year. I'll keep working to bring Republicans and Democrats together to get this done. The middle class tax cut is just too important to get dragged down by Washington game-playing again."
