Clinton plan scaled back as finance panel trims tax push
The House backed a $24.2 billion transportation fuels tax after rejecting a broader energy tax of $72 billion. Medicare funding would be cut by $19 billion beyond the prior $50 billion, hospital and physician reimbursements face reductions, and several of Clinton’s proposals on business and the poor were reduced or eliminated. Senate ideas would tax higher income Social Security benefits, affecting retirees earning over $32,000 to $40,000 for couples, with 85 percent of benefits possibly taxable. Fewer than 2 million Americans would be impacted.
