NEWS: House approves tax cut, giving Bush first big victory


House approves tax cut, giving Bush first big victory
By Associated Press, 3/8/2001 19:35

WASHINGTON (AP)   The Republican-controlled House voted
Thursday for an across-the-board tax cut of nearly $1 trillion over
the next decade, handing President Bush a major victory only 48
days into his term.

The vote was 230-198, largely along party lines, in favor
of the reductions at the heart of the president's economic
program, and came over the objections of Democrats who said
the cut was too big and aimed at upper-income taxpayers.

Approval of Bush's plan sent the bill to an uncertain fate
in the Senate, where a pivotal bipartisan group of lawmakers
has expressed concern about the $958 billion price tag.

Bush's overall tax cut proposal runs to $1.6 trillion over
the next 10 years.
