Asked if he could support a payroll tax cut, Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.), the chairman of the Appropriations Committee, said he wants to see what gets proposed because “here’s a lot of things bandied around.”
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) similarly kept his distance from the idea.
"I think the details matter. I would be willing to consider it, but the details matter,” he added. “Not the least of which is how you're going to shore back up the Social Security trust fund, if you have a payroll tax holiday.”
