Senate Democrats discuss dropping Obama payroll funding provisions in favor of a 1 percent to 2 percent surcharge on millionaires. The plan aims to unite Democrats for a long fight with Republicans, with Majority Leader Harry Reid presenting the alternative in a closed-door session.
Obama urged higher taxes on incomes over 250000 and on oil and gas to finance a 477 billion jobs bill. Democrats objected while he pressed the plan in a series of sharp public pitches. Senate Republicans pressed for an immediate vote but were unsuccessful.
Senate leaders paused a sweeping defense bill amid a dispute with the Obama administration over detainee provisions. Harry Reid urged flexibility to prosecute suspects in criminal courts and warned that limiting counterterrorism tools could threaten national security. Republicans push to keep Guantanamo open and try suspects in military commissions.
The House approved a six week spending bill 352 to 66 sending it to President Obama to avert a midnIght shutdown. The measure ends a clash over disaster aid and sets up work on 12 unfinished bills amid deep party divides.
