House Passed Payroll Tax Plan

Today the House of Representatives passed the Republican favored payroll tax cut plan. The bill passed with a 234-193 vote. Now the senate will have it choice to oppose or accept the bill. The bill will try to help prevent taxes that would affect millions of Americans. The bill also included the approval of the Keystone XL oil pipeline. The pipeline had been in much debate over the recent years. This pipeline would help send oil from northern Alberta, Canada all the way to Texas. Many representatives opposed the bill because of the environmental consequences. The senate will help decide the outcome in a few days.
