Bush lays out tax cut and debt plan in televised address
President Bush argued for broad income tax cuts, eliminating the marriage penalty, expanding the child credit, and phasing out the estate tax. He also pushed retiring $2 trillion of the publicly held federal debt over ten years and protecting the Social Security surplus while dedicating Medicare payroll tax receipts to Medicare. The House Ways and Means Committee planned to advance the centerpiece tax cut measure, with a full House vote possible next week and a Senate vote unlikely before mid to late spring.
