MA Sen. calls fellow GOPers “irresponsible and wrong” for planning to reject Senate version of the payroll tax cut extension.
Brown: “The refusal to compromise now threatens to increase taxes on hard-working Americans and stop unemployment benefits for those out of work. During this time of divided government, both parties need to be reasonable and come to the negotiating table in good faith. We cannot allow rigid partisan ideology and unwillingness to compromise stand in the way of working together for the good of the American people.”
