WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republicans in the House of
Representatives will consider President Barack Obama's proposal
to expand a payroll tax cut for businesses and employees, House
Republican Leader Eric Cantor said Thursday.
"Republicans are not for allowing tax increases for anyone,
we don't believe in that," Cantor told Reuters. "So I do think
that the payroll tax provision that the president proposed
tonight is something that will be a part of the discussions
going forward."
