Senate Aims Quick Passage of Historic Tax Bill
Leaders pressed for swift Senate votes to approve a $3,672,400,000 revenue bill, the largest in history, which would raise about $456,000,000 more than the House measure. It broadens taxes, lowers exemptions, and would pull over 6,000,000 more people into the income tax net, with a floor vote hoped for by the following Saturday.
