>> and one more note from our poll, 75% call this year's congress either below average or one of the worst ever. that's a low in u.s. history . and the battling over taxes on capitol hill grinds on tonight with a stand-off over executing the payroll tax cut. kelly o'donnell on duty tonight on the hill is with us from washington. kelly , good evening.
>> reporter: i have more of what makes the public so angry. another down to the wire battle. 160 million americans could see their taxes go up in a couple weeks, and the government runs out of money to operate this saturday. both parties thought they had reached a big deal to keep the government operating, but the government says congress must first act to pass the payroll extension and unemployment benefits. well, the house did do that. president obama says he will veto it, in part because it contains an oil pipeline project. so that leaves us with the problem of the threat of a government shutdown , and the possibility of higher taxes and no end in sight. brian?
