Tax cut and aid package signed amid political maneuvering
The $350 billion tax cut and state aid plan advances with a summer rollout for eligible families. It expands the $1,000 tax credit to some low income households as a refundable credit up to 15 percent of income over $10,500, while phasing out for higher earners. The bill adds a 2010 eligibility threshold, financed by extending customs fees, and faces GOP concerns over targeting. The White House supports aiding low income workers despite potential permanence debates.

The plan includes loan guarantees, a $1.1 billion Idaho reactor to produce hydrogen, and $865 million for research to alter reactor waste. Critics warn taxpayers may bear losses if projects fail.
