Rebels rethink tax cut fuels GOP split
Washington seeks to exploit a rupture in Republican ranks as 102 House Republicans sign a letter urging scaling back the 500 per child tax credit to families earning 95,000 or less. Panetta says the move is a step but has little effect on overall fairness. Gingrich calls it helpful but undecided. The House plan would grant full credit to households up to 200,000 and partial credit up to 250,000, with the rebels’ stance targeting a floor rate for the credit amid a 189 billion five-year cost.
