House tax cut plan faces Clinton veto threat
The House approved a five year 80 billion tax cut aimed at middle income families and marriage penalty relief, facing a veto threat from President Clinton. The vote showed party lines 229 to 195 with few defections, as Democrats opposed dipping into the surplus before Social Security solvency is secured. The bill’s fate hinges on the Senate, where procedural hurdles and moderate GOP resistance loom. This clash signals an election year confrontation over how to use the budget surplus amid debates over Social Security funding and lingering effects from the Lewinsky affair.
