i m erin burnett. outfront, breaking news, federal failure. gridlock reigns in washington once again. now the payroll tax cut proposal passes the republican house. so why do we say failure? well, the republican bill, included a controversial oil pipeline that the president has said he would veto. so, pass, smash. we re at square one. congress again playing chicken with the clock. there are just 18 days left until the tax cut expires. if it does, the average american will pay about a thousand dollars more in taxes next year. now, this may not be economic armageddon. but because the tax cut is popular for everyone, both parties want to pass it. so why are they failing? the bottom line, in one afternoon we found a way to compromise and get this done with the help of robert and williams at the nonpartisan tax policy center. here goes, what we call a decent proposal. if you extended the payroll tax cut for only people making under $75,000 a year, the price tag would be about $48
