Democrats Confident Of Passing Tax Bill
Washington AP Democrats say they can defeat a Republican bid to attach a spending curb to Kennedy’s $11 billion tax reduction in a House vote. If enacted, tax cuts would begin next January, saving most families $100 to $200 a year with two thirds kicking in then and the rest a year later. Senate hearings may delay the bill amid civil rights fights, while Southern Democrats show willingness to back the tax cut and limit. Mills urges turning point in economic policy to avoid reliance on spending and appeals for private sector dollars. Republicans warn against the floor fight, pledging support for limits, as Baker notes committees can test within about $97-$98 billion spending caps.
