U.S. Senator Ben Cardin (D-MD), gave the following remarks after both the Senate and House passed the Payroll Tax Conference Report: “We reached a consensus today that will maintain the payroll tax holiday for 160 million American families, help our seniors through Medicare, and continue to provide extended unemployment benefits to those still out of work through no fault of their own. In what has become all too rare an occurrence, the Senate and the Congress actually worked out their differences to reconcile legislation. I signed the document that allowed this process to move forward because I believe there is too much gridlock on Capitol Hill. I also successfully fought side-by-side with fellow Marylander Rep. Chris Van Hollen, to remove provisions that were in the House bill that would have increased pension contributions for current federal workers, reduced a general reduction in pension benefits for federal workers, and added an additional year of a pay freeze. http://delusionalduck.com/index.php/40281/
