Sessions still uneasy on payroll tax cut

Sens. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Jim DeMint, R-S.C., may have told The Wall Street Journal that they will end up supporting a continuation of this year’s payroll tax cut, but Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., is not sold yet. Sessions told reporters at a American Spectator news breakfast this morning that he was still “uneasy” about the policy.

“It’s not a tax cut I don’t think,” Sessions said of the payroll tax cut. “We’re talking about having 160 million Americans not pay into their retirement plan. Well where is the money coming from? Well we’re going to borrow it, adding to the debt.”
