Bill Clinton believes that the President's tax cut/unemployment extension deal is a good deal, because it will be "a significant net plus for the country" and he unequivocally supports it. He predicts that it will help the economic recovery and it will significantly help millions of unemployed Americans.
Among other comments, he thinks it will be "a much, much better agreement" than we will be able to get from the new Congress beginning next month.
He says: "I don't think we can get a better deal."
He particularly likes the payroll tax cut.
