Spending Brakes Urged By Congress
Congress urges the President to pledge all reasonable means to restrain government spending if the $1 billion tax cut bill passes in its present form. The administration would be on notice that any additional revenue should first reduce deficits and public debt. The Ways and Means Committee embedded this in the bill after a GOP attempt to tie spending limits to the tax cut failed. Republicans vow to push spending restraints again, with Democratic support from some fiscally conservative members. The aim is to speed action so withholding rates may drop January 1, boosting take home pay for most workers. Two thirds of the cuts would be effective January 1. the rest a year later.
