House Bills Tax Cut Sparks Debt Limit Clash
Washington The House refused to accept Senate amendments on a tax cut for cabaret venues and sent the bill to a conference. The debt limit would rise from 210 to 240 billion dollars in the House plan, while the Senate sought 260 billion and exempted service members from the tax. Some House leaders argued the cabaret provision was a revenue measure and improperly attached to a non revenue bill. The Senate argued debt limits affect borrowing and thus revenue power.
