Bill Clinton: “Well, I think what it means is they will have to extend -- they will probably have to put everything off until early…”

On the recordJune 4, 2012
Well, I think what it means is they will have to extend -- they will probably have to put everything off until early next year. That's probably the best thing to do right now. But the Republicans don't want to do that unless he agrees to extend the tax cuts permanently including for upper income people. And I don't think the president should do that.
