It appears the republicans are learning that this is NOT the time to dig in their heels, imagine if they opposed these now!

POLITICO Breaking News
-------------------------------------------------
House and Senate negotiators are nearing a deal to extend the payroll tax holiday, jobless benefits and the Medicare reimbursement rate, sources said. Unemployment insurance and the Medicare Sustainable Growth Rate would be offset, and the payroll tax holiday would be extended without cuts to the budget.

The breakthrough comes one day after House Republican leaders announced they were willing to drop their insistence on paying for the payroll tax holiday.

Any deal still needs to meet approval of rank and file lawmakers in both chambers.
