Deficit panel failure could spark hard options for Congress
If the Senate deficit-cutting panel fails, Congress faces a choice to let payroll tax cuts and jobless aid expire or extend them and push the national debt higher by at least 160 billion. Obama and Democrats seek to use the panel's work to advance a jobs agenda, including cutting the Social Security payroll tax and extending unemployment benefits. Medicare payments to doctors face a near 30 percent cut, and several tax breaks and AMT relief expire, threatening a chaotic end-of-year package.
