Gingrich says GOP tax deal unlikely to stall vote
House Republicans plan to bring their tax cut bill to the floor this week with no final compromise on wealthy benefits. Gingrich warned of intra party dispute but predicted many dissenters will back the plan, part of the Contract with America. He cited a $189 billion five year tax cut and noted freshmen Bono and Wicker would still vote yes. Democrats push a smaller $24 billion five year plan. Gingrich also forecast a balanced federal budget in seven years with Medicare cost reductions.
