Senate Panel Does Not Extend Tax-Rate Cut
By Jonathan Weisman
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, November 16, 2005; A07
Facing a stalemate over one of President Bush's top economic policy
goals, the Senate Finance Committee yesterday gave up efforts to extend
deep cuts to the tax rate on dividends and capital gains and approved a
$60 billion tax measure largely devoted to hurricane relief and tax
cuts with bipartisan appeal.
The measure, which could pass the Senate today, marks the latest in a
string of legislative setbacks for Bush, who has repeatedly called on
Congress to make his first-term tax cuts permanent and has taken
particular pride in the 2003 dividends and capital gains tax cuts,
which are set to expire in 2008.
