Bill Summary
Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that any final measure to extend the payroll tax holiday, extend federally funded unemployment insurance benefits, or prevent decreases in reimbursement for physicians who provide care to Medicare beneficiaries: (1) extend the payroll tax holiday through December 31, 2012; (2) extend and reform federally funded unemployment insurance benefits; (3) eliminate for two years the cut in reimbursement for physicians who provide care to Medicare beneficiaries; (4) reduce spending from areas throughout the federal government, including a freeze on congressional salaries, in order to protect the Social Security Trust Fund, whose solvency would otherwise be diminished as a result of the payroll tax holiday; and (5) provide immediate job creation through final approval of the Keystone XL pipeline, expensing for capital assets placed in service in 2012, and drafting new regulations for boilers that are achievable and cost-effective.
AI Summary
This Resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that any legislation addressing the payroll tax holiday, unemployment benefits, or Medicare physician payments should include specific provisions. These include extending the payroll tax holiday until the end of 2012, reforming and extending federally funded unemployment insurance benefits, and preventing a significant cut to Medicare physician reimbursement for two years. Furthermore, the resolution calls for spending reductions across the federal government, such as freezing congressional salaries, to safeguard the Social Security Trust Fund, which could be negatively impacted by the payroll tax holiday. Finally, it advocates for immediate job creation through the approval of the Keystone XL pipeline, allowing businesses to expense capital assets purchased in 2012, and developing achievable and cost-effective new regulations for boilers.
