Clinton energy tax revival eyed in deficit talks
Washington AP reporting that the Clinton administration pressed to resurrect a broad energy tax as House and Senate negotiators prepare a deficit reduction package. Panetta said it’s premature to declare the tax dead while Rostenkowski noted Clinton never said he abandoned tying the levy to fuel heat output. The debate centers on tax plans that would fund a roughly 500 billion dollar five year reduction, with fights over who pays and how deep Medicare cuts should be. Opponents warn the tax would hurt farmers and manufacturers reliant on energy.
