It's deja vu all over again. The White House is pressing Congress again to extend the payroll tax -- with President Obama again asking supporters to take to Twitter to express "what $40 means to you."
The White House last December invited Americans to Tweet or write in and tell them what they'd do with $40 -- the amount a weekly paycheck could increase if the tax break expires. Obama in a video today credits the move with making "all the difference" in December's debate -- which was resolved with an agreement to extend the tax break for a year. House Republicans yesterday said they'd support extending the provision -- but there's still disagreement over extending unemployment benefits.
