House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), along with Rep. Allyson Schwartz (D-Pa) and members of the House democratic caucus held a news conference yesterday in the Capitol Visitor Center to urge an agreement in the payroll tax break extension. Before the holiday break, Congress only authorized the extension to end of February. The payroll tax break provides a tax cut for 160 million workers and saves each family about $1,000 a year.
