The President has convinced the Party of No to say YES (for the 1st time !) to UI benefit extension for 13 MONTHS (instead of just 3), tax cut extension for the middle class saving an average of $3000 per family/per year, tax breaks for college students and small businesses and more. 97% of the bill is for The People ! ....and all for just a 2 year rich tax extension instead of permanent !

Should be called The "Tax Cut Bill for The People"...since that's what it really is.
