Expect Demos To Drop Plan For Income Tax Cut
Washington reports House Democrats are expected to abandon their drive for a tax cut to avoid blame for reducing other revenues. The House already approved a $20 per person cut in a bill that would extend expiring corporate and excise taxes for a year, while the Senate rejected the cut but would extend the other taxes. If extended, government income could fall by about three billion dollars annually. Senator George of Georgia urged that the House likely backs down to preserve the revenue bill. House and Senate conferees planned to meet Wednesday to seek a compromise.
