The Making Work Pay credit expires at the end of the year. If the deal fails, the Making Work Pay credit still expires, it was part of the stimulus package.

It means a few dollars less that the $400 to $800 from the Making Work Pay credit, but the alternative is losing about $400 to $800.

If they can get the Making Work Pay credit extended that's one thing, but it is not related to the middle-class tax cuts.

There are also other stimulus credits that are being extended that were scheduled to expire.

It's interesting that, with the exception of a few, no one talked up the benefit of the Making Work Pay credit until this point.
