Tax Boost Due Americans
Congress rushes a stopgap to prevent a payroll tax increase as cuts expire.

Also debated are a national debt ceiling rise and a 32.5 billion weapons procurement bill advancing to production of B1 bombers. House actions pursue payroll reform after Capitol Hill sex scandal while Senate approves 53 billion in spending across EPA Interior and housing programs.
