GOP Pursues Tax Cuts and Deficit Reduction in 2005 Budget
Congressional Republicans push a two step plan to cut taxes while trimming deficits as the House Budget Committee advances a 2005 budget. A new measure would require savings for new programs like Medicare, while the tax cuts would be paid for in Senate form not in the House plan. The party faces internal splits as deficits near $500 billion and Democrats call the move a half measure aimed at protecting Bush tax policy.
