GOP downplays difference in House Bush tax cuts
The House GOP budgets 2001 to 2005 push about 50 billion more in tax cuts than Clinton wants, while Bush’s plan would start in 2002. Republicans aim to avoid veto fights and seek a later vote on broader cuts, with Kasich saying Bush’s package and the House plan are in close proximity. Bush’s spokeswoman distanced the governor from the House package, arguing for less rapid spending.
