Romney Reverses Position, Backs Payroll Tax Cut Extension

Romney Reverses Position, Backs Payroll Tax Cut Extension

Benjy Sarlin

Mitt Romney derided President Obama�s call for a payroll tax cut extension as a �band aid� in October. But he came out in favor of the move on Monday as the White House makes a new push to prevent taxes from going up on millions of Americans.

�Look, I don�t like temporary little Band-Aids,� Romney said earlier. �I want to fundamentally restructure America�s foundation economically.�

On Monday, however, he endorsed the idea.

�I would like to see the payroll tax cut extended because I know that working families are really feeling the pinch right now � middle-class Americans are having a hard time,� he told radio host Michael Medved.

1. I bet the Republicans won't like that position.

Well, they'll only have to wait 15 minutes or so until it changes again.
