House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Monday released the following statement after President Obama urged Congressional Republicans to extend the payroll tax cut:

“Republicans have another chance to decide whose side they’re on – all Americans or the one percent. The choice is clear: will Republicans join us to protect the economic security of the middle class, or will they continue to protect the interests of people making more than a million dollars a year?

“We must not leave Washington, D.C., for the holidays without extending the payroll tax cut for our working families or unemployment benefits for those who lost their jobs through no fault of their own.

“Americans can’t wait any longer. We must act now to spur our economic growth, create jobs, and strengthen our middle class.”
