House leaders will go along with Senate

House Republicans will give in to demands by President Obama and renew the payroll tax cuts, at least for the short term.  Speaker John Boehner expect the two houses to pass a new bill by Sunday.  The measure would also extend jobless benefits for millions of Americans.

        Second Thoughts

The House has heard the people

And know just what they crave;
Which just might be a reason
The Hill says it will cave.

They'll keep talking through the weekend,

If that's what it's going to take,
To save the worker's tax cuts
And give them all a break.

Just what might be the reason

For their sudden change in goals?
Might they be preparing
To face voters at the polls?
