For the past several months, House Republicans have insisted that any extension of existing payroll tax rates be offset with spending cuts to keep the program deficit-neutral.

He explains why the Republican leaders changed strategies, how much progress the GOP really thinks it can make on jobless benefits and what he makes of the Obama budget.
