House G.O.P. Leaders Agree to Extension of Payroll Tax Cut
By JENNIFER STEINHAUER
Published: December 22, 2011
WASHINGTON - Under a deal reached between House and Senate leaders, the House will now approve as early as Friday the
two-month extension of a payroll tax holiday and unemployment benefits approved by the Senate last Saturday, and the Senate will
appoint members of a House-Senate conference committee to negotiate legislation to extend both benefits through 2012.
House Republicans - who rejected an almost identical deal on Tuesday - collapsed under the political rubble that has
accumulated over the week, much of it from their own party, worried that the blockade would do serious damage to their appeal to
voters.
The House speaker, John A. Boehner, announced the decision over the phone to members on Thursday, and did not permit the
usual back and forth that is common on such calls, enraging many of them.
After his conversation with lawmakers, the speaker conceded to reporters that it might not have been "politically the smartest
thing in the world" for House Republicans to put themselves between a tax cut and the 160 million American workers who would benefit
from it, and to allow President Obama and Congressional Democrats to seize the momentum on the issue.
The agreement ended a partisan fight that threatened to keep Congress and Mr. Obama in town through Christmas and was
just the latest of the bitter struggles over fiscal policy involving House conservatives, the president and the Democratic-controlled
Senate.
Under the deal, the employee's share of the Social Security payroll tax will stay at the current level, 4.2 percent of wages,
through Feb. 29. In the absence of Congressional action, it would revert to the usual 6.2 percent next month. The government will also
continue paying unemployment insurance benefits under current policy through February. Without Congressional action, many of the
long-term unemployed would begin losing benefits next month.
In addition, under the agreement, Medicare will continue paying doctors at current rates for two months, averting a 27 percent
cut that would otherwise occur on Jan. 1.
The new deal makes minor adjustments to make it easier for small businesses to cope with the tax changes and prevents
manipulation of an employee's pay should the tax cut extension fail to go beyond two months.
Mr. Obama, who has reaped political benefits from the standoff, welcomed the outcome.
"This is good news, just in time for the holidays," he said in a statement. "This is the right thing [VERB 1] to strengthen our
families, grow our economy, and create new jobs. This is real money that will [VERB 2] a real difference in people's lives."

Making Performance Budgeting Work: New IMF Book
October 04, 2007
Member countries will find valuable advice on how to reform their budgeting practices to improve the effectiveness and
efficiency of public expenditure in a major new work on performance budgeting produced by the Fiscal Affairs Department. The book,
Performance Budgeting: Linking Funding and Results (500pp), came off the presses of the top UK publisher Palgrave Macmillan in
September.
Edited by FAD staff member Marc Robinson, the book contains a comprehensive treatment of contemporary performance
budgeting practice and theory. In a series of thematic chapters and case studies, the book discusses:
- The key forms of performance budgeting which [TO IMPLEMENT] around the world - how they differ, and what they have in
common points.
- Lessons from the experience of governments around the world - ranging from OECD nations to developing, middle-income
and transition countries - about what forms of performance budgeting work, under what circumstances, and with what
implementation strategies.
- How successful performance budgeting can improve aggregate fiscal discipline.
- The information requirements of performance budgeting, and
- The links between performance budgeting and other budgeting and public management reforms.
Many of the contributors to this work are leaders in performance budgeting implementation in their countries. Others are
respected academics and technical experts from the International Monetary Fund and other international organizations. Countries
covered in the case studies include the UK, USA, Australia, France, Chile, Spain, Russia, Colombia and Ethiopia.
One major focus of the book is performance budgeting as a tool for improved expenditure prioritization - that is, for helping to
shift limited public resources to the services of greatest social benefit. A key finding is that this type of performance budgeting will only
work if the budget process is fundamentally changed so that top politicians and bureaucrats systematically consider expenditure
priorities when formulating the budget. This means more than just considering the priorities for new spending. It requires also having
mechanisms to systematically review existing spending programs to identify what is ineffective and low priority and can, therefore, be
cut. This is what countries such as Chile and the United Kingdom have successfully done, and the United States is currently attempting
to achieve with its Program Assessment Rating Tool instrument. Conversely, it is a mistake to believe that merely changing the budget
classification and developing performance indicators will in itself improve the allocation of resources in the budget.

A biosfera, o nome que a ciência dá à vida, parece algo enorme, que se espalha por toda parte, que nos cerca por cima, por
baixo, pelos lados, andando, voando e nadando. Pois toda essa única maravilha se espreme por sobre uma camada ínfima do
planeta. Quão ínfima? Toda a vida da Terra está contida em 0,5% de sua massa superficial. Metade de 1%. O restante é rocha estéril
recobrindo o núcleo de ferro incandescente. Imagine uma metrópole do tamanho de São Paulo ou de Nova York totalmente deserta,
quente demais ou fria demais para manter formas de vida, exceto por um único quarteirão.
A vida, ou a biosfera, torna-se uma reserva ainda mais enclausurada e única, quando se sabe que nenhuma forma de vida,
mesmo a mais primitiva, jamais foi detectada fora dos limites da Terra. Se toda a biosfera terrestre se mantém em uma parte ínfima do
planeta, este por sua vez é um grão de areia. Sem contar o Sol, a Terra responde por apenas 1/500 da massa total do sistema solar.
Essa bolhinha azul e frágil que vaga pelo infinito recebe agora seu habitante número 7 bilhões, reavivando a imorredoura questão
sobre até quando a população mundial poderá crescer sem produzir um colapso nos recursos naturais do planeta.
A questão se impõe porque o crescimento no uso desses recursos forma uma curva estatística impressionante. A estimativa é
de que, em 2030, será necessário o equivalente a duas Terras para garantir o padrão de vida da humanidade. As perspectivas mais
sombrias sobre a sustentabilidade do planeta não levam em conta a extraordinária capacidade de recuperação da natureza - e a do
próprio ser humano - para superar as adversidades. A Terra já passou por cinco grandes extinções em massa e a vida sempre voltou
ainda com mais força. Enquanto se procuram soluções para o equilíbrio entre crescimento populacional e preservação de recursos, a
natureza manda suas mensagens de socorro. A espaçonave Terra é uma generosa Arca de Noé, mas ela tem limites.
