Senate debates bill to cut taxes with $50 rebates
The Senate Finance Committee approved a tax cut package totaling 31.4 billion dollars over 18 months. It includes a one time $50 rebate for most Americans and a permanent tax cut average of about $110 for 46 million couples or individuals. Rebates would start in mid May, phased by income, with Social Security and welfare recipients who pay no income tax also eligible. The plan faces GOP opposition and the question of securing enough Democratic support before any Senate debate expected after March 30.
