Democrats Push 56 Billion Budget Cut With Corporate Tax Talk
Democrats move a 56 billion dollar spending cut plan for next year to the House floor, seeking a new minimum corporate tax to trim deficits. The plan freezes Pentagon spending, preserves Social Security, and expands domestic programs while aiming for a 259 billion dollar three year deficit reduction. Rep. Jim Wright and Rep. William Gray lead the push, with Rep. Henson Moore the sole Republican vote in support. Republicans vow amendments and a possible GOP alternative next week.
