                      Economic News Update
    Obama Agrees to Extend Tax Cuts for All
    for Two Years: President Barack Obama said he’ll
    agree to a two-year extension of all Bush-era tax cuts in
    exchange for extending federal unemployment insurance.
    The plan also would cut the payroll tax by 2 percentage
    points for one year.
    Obama said he would accept a lower rate for the estate tax
    than Democrats wanted in order to break a stalemate over
    extending the Bush administration’s tax cuts before
    Congress adjourns. The current tax rates, enacted in 2001
    and 2003, are set to expire Dec. 31.
    Without the compromise, middle-income families would
    become “collateral damage for political warfare here in
    Washington,” Obama said in televised remarks. He said he
    still believes that the nation can’t afford to permanently
    extend the top tax rates.
    “This compromise is an essential step on the road to
    recovery,” Obama said. He criticized Republicans for
    insisting on permanent tax cuts for the wealthiest
    Americans “regardless of the cost of impact on the deficit.”
    Obama spoke in Washington after a White House meeting
    with Democratic congressional leaders. They and the
    Republican leadership still have to sell the plan to their
    caucuses. Obama called it a “framework” for a deal.
    Representative Dave Camp of Michigan, who will become
    chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means
    Committee when Republicans take control of the chamber
    in January, welcomed Obama’s announcement.
    Lawmakers opposed to extending the tax cuts for the
    nation’s top earners criticized the deal.
    In addition to keeping the current tax rates for all taxpayers,
    the plan outlined by Obama would extend aid for the long-
    term unemployed for another 13 months. The payroll tax --
    which funds Social Security and Medicare -- would be cut
    by 2 percentage points during 2011 to help spur hiring.
    The payroll tax cut would apply to all wage-earners, an
    administration official told reporters on a conference call.
    That would give those who making salaries of more than
    $106,800 a maximum of $2,136 in tax savings. The
    proposal would cost the government $120 billion, another
    administration official said.
    The unemployment rate rose to a seven-month high of 9.8
    percent in November as payroll growth slowed to 39,000
    from 172,000, according to the Labor Department.

  • 5. KBank Daily Update Dec 7, 2010 Economic News Update Obama Agrees to Extend Tax Cuts for All for Two Years: President Barack Obama said he’ll agree to a two-year extension of all Bush-era tax cuts in exchange for extending federal unemployment insurance. The plan also would cut the payroll tax by 2 percentage points for one year. Obama said he would accept a lower rate for the estate tax than Democrats wanted in order to break a stalemate over extending the Bush administration’s tax cuts before Congress adjourns. The current tax rates, enacted in 2001 and 2003, are set to expire Dec. 31. Without the compromise, middle-income families would become “collateral damage for political warfare here in Washington,” Obama said in televised remarks. He said he still believes that the nation can’t afford to permanently extend the top tax rates. “This compromise is an essential step on the road to recovery,” Obama said. He criticized Republicans for insisting on permanent tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans “regardless of the cost of impact on the deficit.” Obama spoke in Washington after a White House meeting with Democratic congressional leaders. They and the Republican leadership still have to sell the plan to their caucuses. Obama called it a “framework” for a deal. Representative Dave Camp of Michigan, who will become chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee when Republicans take control of the chamber in January, welcomed Obama’s announcement. Lawmakers opposed to extending the tax cuts for the nation’s top earners criticized the deal. In addition to keeping the current tax rates for all taxpayers, the plan outlined by Obama would extend aid for the long- term unemployed for another 13 months. The payroll tax -- which funds Social Security and Medicare -- would be cut by 2 percentage points during 2011 to help spur hiring. The payroll tax cut would apply to all wage-earners, an administration official told reporters on a conference call. That would give those who making salaries of more than $106,800 a maximum of $2,136 in tax savings. The proposal would cost the government $120 billion, another administration official said. The unemployment rate rose to a seven-month high of 9.8 percent in November as payroll growth slowed to 39,000 from 172,000, according to the Labor Department.
