possible? reporter: they have talked where they could postpone the tax increases but only for a short amount of time. you think where we were a month ago compared to now and the president moved. he moved from $250,000 to $400,000 and speaker officer put tax rates on the table. social security is now on the table again they have moved. they are not that far apart but they are not up against the december 31 deadline which usually forces action. shepard: thank you, bob. they voted on the rule. the rule to proceed is allowed. now they will proceed. tonight, during fox report, any will vote. the house of representatives will most likely pass this. then it will die like a christmas tree in january. it will be as worthless and they will chop it up and throw it away and it will be not worth the paper it is printed on. thank you washington for all
